Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh white fish fillet (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit lemon, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the fish fillets on a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
Brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Stir and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Drizzle the garlic-butter mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Season the fish with dried oregano, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet for added flavor.
Sprinkle chopped parsley evenly across the fillets. If using, top with grated parmesan cheese for a crispy, cheesy finish.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
