Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Blend until you have a smooth, vibrant green marinade.

Step 4

Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Generously coat both sides of the fillets with the green marinade, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Let the fillets rest for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the fish for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the green roasted fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
