Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the fish fillets.
- Season the fish with the black pepper.
- Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze half of the lemon over the fish fillets, ensuring the juice is evenly distributed.
- Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place the lemon slices on top of the fish fillets for added flavor and presentation.
- Lightly spray the fish fillets with a short burst of cooking spray oil to help lock in moisture and give a nice finish.
- Place the baking sheet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Baking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
- Carefully remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Transfer the fish to serving plates, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
- Serve the baked fish with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality white fish for the best flavor and texture. If fresh fish isn't available, frozen fish that has been properly thawed can also work well.
- Use freshly ground black pepper for more intense flavor. Pre-ground pepper can lose its potency over time.
- Ensure the fish is evenly coated with the herb and lemon mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Do not overcook the fish. White fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque all the way through.
- Serve the fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete, healthy meal.
