Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets

- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil.
Step 2
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Zest the lemon to obtain about 1 teaspoon of zest and then cut the lemon into thin slices. Set both aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the herb mixture.
Step 5
Brush each fillet lightly with the herb mixture, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Arrange the lemon slices on top of each fish fillet for added flavor and presentation.
Step 7
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish sit for a couple of minutes to enhance flavors before serving.
Step 9
Serve the baked lemon herb white fish with your choice of heart-healthy sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and healthy meal.
