Description

A light and healthy dinner featuring flaky white fish fillets topped with a zesty blend of lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia), 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme.
  5. Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the herb oil evenly over the top of each fillet.
  6. Place one or two lemon slices on top of each piece of fish.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
