Baked White Fish is a light, tender, and flavorful dish made with flaky white fish fillets, fresh herbs, citrus, and a drizzle of olive oil or butter. It’s a quick and healthy option for any weeknight meal or casual dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock, tilapia, or halibut)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Pat fish fillets dry and place them in the dish.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil or butter, then add lemon juice and minced garlic.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  5. Top with chopped herbs and lemon slices.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed fish—make sure to pat it dry to avoid excess moisture.
  • Top with breadcrumbs or parmesan before baking for a crunchy finish.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, olives, or capers for a Mediterranean flair.
  • White wine can be added to the pan for extra depth and moisture.
  • Leftovers are great flaked into salads or tacos.
