Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

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

Place the fish fillets on the lined baking sheet and evenly spoon the marinade over each piece, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place one or two slices on top of each fish fillet.
