Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each fish fillet, ensuring that the fillets are fully coated.
Step 5
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm with optional lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch. Pair with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
