Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a 13x9 inch pan or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and shallot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until translucent, stirring with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook for an additional minute. Mix in the juice of half a lemon.
  4. Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce over the fish.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the dill on top and continue baking until the fish flakes easily, about 2 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon on top and serve immediately.
