Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Spoon the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the fillets for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 6
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional parsley or lemon wedges if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables or rice.
