Healthy Baked Fish Recipe: Lemon and Herb Elegance

Ingredients:

• 4 fish fillets (cod, tilapia, salmon, or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or use parchment paper.

2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.

3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together to create a flavorful marinade.

4. Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, making sure they are evenly coated.

5. If you have time, you can let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If you're in a hurry, you can bake it right away, and it will still be delicious.

6. Place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet for extra flavor.

7. Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish easily flakes with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillets.

8. Once the fish is done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and additional freshness.

9. Serve your baked lemon garlic herb fish with your choice of side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a salad. Enjoy!

This version of the recipe uses olive oil instead of butter for a healthier alternative. It's still packed with flavor and pairs well with various side dishes.
