Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for tartar sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
• 1 pinch paprika

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the white fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides with the herb marinade. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated.

Step 4

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is baking, prepare the tartar sauce. In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickle, capers, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced chives, and a pinch of paprika. Mix well until smooth.

Step 6

Taste the tartar sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the herb baked fish warm with a generous dollop of homemade tartar sauce on the side. Garnish with additional fresh parsley or lemon slices if desired.
