Ingredients:​

  • 4 fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:​

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Marinate the Fish:
    • Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Brush both sides of the fillets with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the fish marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Bake the Fish:
    • Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when done.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once baked, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:​

  • For an extra crispy top, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the fish to prevent burning.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
  • You can customize the herbs and spices based on your preference. Dill, basil, or rosemary work well with fish too.
