Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 425°F and get ready to make some deliciously simple baked fish!
2. Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant. Zest your lemon (a Microplane works wonders for this!) and toss the zest into the butter mixture.
3. Prep the Lemons:
Thinly slice the zested lemon and arrange the slices in the bottom of a baking dish. If you have extra slices, set them aside to place on top of the fish later.
4. Season the Fish:
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Lay the seasoned fish on top of the lemon slices in the dish. Spoon or brush the garlic butter generously over the fish.
5. Bake to Perfection:
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish and Serve:
For a pop of color and flavor, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the fish before serving. Enjoy this light, flavorful meal!
