Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs white fish filets (cod, tilapia, halibut, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons fish seasoning (or seasoning of choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready to cook the fish evenly.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
