Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 4 filets of white fish (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Stir well to create a marinade.
- Place the fish filets in a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
- Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each filet is well-coated.
- Bake the fish for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs or extra lemon slices if desired.
- Serve hot with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh Mediterranean salad.
Notes
- Add roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for a complete one-pan meal.
- For a spicier kick, incorporate red pepper flakes or paprika into the marinade.
- Feel free to swap the fish for tilapia, flounder, or salmon, adjusting the cooking time for thicker fish.
