Notes

  • Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
  • A secret tip to preventing the spices from burning in the oven is to add 2 tablespoons of chicken stock to one corner of the tray in between cooking times.
  • Use same-size fish fillets for uniform cooking. Cooking time will vary depending on how big the fillets are.
  • Garlic, chili, and lemon are the best flavor combo for this recipe. You can customize the flavors by adding other spices or herbs according to preference.
