Ingredients
- 2 lbs white fish filets (cod, tilapia, halibut, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons fish seasoning (or seasoning of choice)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready to cook the fish evenly.
- Prepare Fish: Pat the fish filets dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Place them on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
- Season Fish: Rub olive oil over both sides of the fish filets, making sure each piece is coated. Sprinkle the fish seasoning evenly over the top of the filets for flavor.
- Bake Fish: Place the sheet pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the fish is opaque, flaky, and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve: Remove the fish from the oven carefully, plate, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, healthy oven-baked fish!
Notes
- Use any mild white fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut based on preference or availability.
- Ensure fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safety.
- Fish seasoning can be substituted with your favorite blend such as lemon pepper, Old Bay, or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even cooking.
- For extra flavor, serve with lemon wedges or fresh herbs on the side.
