Description
A light and healthy baked white fish fillet infused with a garlic-herb rub and topped with fresh lemon slices for a zesty, moist finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia), 6 oz each
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced (half for slices, half for juice)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Pat the fish fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure the rub adheres.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
- Rub the herb mixture generously over the top and sides of each fish fillet.
- Place the fillets in the baking dish and top each with 2-3 thin lemon slices.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature of 145°F).
- Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
