Delicious Baked Fish Fillets Recipe for a Healthy Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure to let the oven reach the desired temperature before baking.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Use a non-stick spray for easier cleanup.
  3. Season the Fish

    Place the fish fillets in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

    For extra flavor, marinate the fish for 15 minutes before baking.
  4. Add Herbs

    Sprinkle dried parsley over the seasoned fish for added flavor.

    Fresh herbs can be used if available.
  5. Bake the Fish

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

    Check for doneness at the 15-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
