Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, delicate white fish like cod, tilapia, halibut, or sole are good choices. They cook quickly and evenly, and their mild flavor pairs well with the herbs and lemon.
  • Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings adhere to the fish.
  • Season the fish: Generously season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley add a burst of flavor to the fish. Chop them finely before adding them to the baking dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the fish fillets in the baking dish so that they cook evenly.
  • Bake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for fish is between 375°F and 400°F. This will help ensure that the fish cooks through without drying out.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. The best way to tell if the fish is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it's done.

Conclusion:

Baked fish is a healthy, delicious, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality baked fish dish at home. Whether you prefer a classic recipe with lemon and herbs or something more exotic with a spicy marinade, there's a baked fish recipe out there for everyone.
