In this Post: Everything you need for Lemon Butter Baked White Fish
My family loves seafood so when my husband recently requested white fish for dinner, I was happy to oblige. Making seafood at ،me can be intimidating to some, but keeping it simple can create a delicious and easy dish that even beginner cooks can make. It’s hard to go wrong with baked fish in the oven. My Lemon Butter Baked White Fish uses just a few simple ingredients to make a healthy and fast dinner that’s full of fresh and natural flavors.
Ingredients
- White fish: When making this dish, I’ll usually grab some cod or tilapia from the seafood counter at my local grocery store.
- Butter: The ،er mixed with other ingredients helps to lock in moisture and flavor while baking the fish.
- Garlic: Nutty, pungent, aromatic flavor to add to the lemon ،er.
- Minced herbs: Adding some freshly minced herbs to the lemon ،er adds great natural flavors. I’ll use parsley, basil, oregano, dill, rosemary, or thyme!
- Lemon: Lemon juice, zest, and slices are all used to add bright, citrus flavor to this fish dish.
How to Make Lemon Butter Baked White Fish
S، your lemon ،er baked white fish by prepping your baking dish with cooking spray, and laying your fish fillets along the bottom. Sprinkle with some kosher salt and black pepper.
Then make your lemon ،er. Mix your softened ،er with minced garlic, minced herbs, lemon zest, and some salt and pepper.
Spread the lemon ،er over the top of your white fish.
Top fillets with thin slices of lemon before tossing in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until fish is nice and tender and flakes easily with a fork.
I love to sprinkle additional fresh herbs on top right before serving, and I’ll also leave the lemon slices on so additional lemon juice can be squeezed over the top as desired as well. Enjoy your Lemon Butter Baked White Fi،
