Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon
- 1 ½ lb White fish fillets see notes
- ½ teaspoon each: sea salt and pepper
- minced parsley to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and let it cook for 1 minute. Zest the lemon (preferably with a Microplane) and add it to the butter.
- Thinly slice the zested lemon and place the slices in the bottom of a baking dish. If there are extras, save them for the top of the fish.
- Dry the fish with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper, then lay the fish on top of the lemon slices. Spoon or brush the garlic butter over the fish.
- Bake the fish for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve with a little parsley sprinkled over the top for color.
Notes
- White fish is the generic term for many different kinds of fish. A few to look for are cod, lingcod, grouper, snapper, whitefish, haddock, rockfish, or sole.
