Baked Fish with Lemon and Herbs

Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray or baking dish with parchment paper.

2. 02

   Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.

3. 03

   Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels. Place them in the baking dish and brush the herb-lemon mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.

4. 04

   Place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet to enhance the flavor while baking.

5. 05

   Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. The fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

6. 06

   Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
