Ingredients

• 2 6-ounce pieces bluefish fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the bluefish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Brush the fillets generously with the olive oil and herb mixture, ensuring the marinade coats the fish evenly.

Step 5

Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the bluefish for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a minute before transferring to serving plates.

Step 8

Serve the roasted bluefish with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty touch. Pair with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
