Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 medium lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Zest the lemon and then juice it. Set the zest and juice aside.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets in a single layer in a baking dish. Use a spoon to drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the fish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the lemon zest over the fish for added flavor.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the fish moist and bake it in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer a slightly crispier top.

Step 10

Serve the baked fish immediately, garnished with additional parsley or dill if desired.
