Ingredients

4 fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Place the fish fillets in a baking dish. Pour the zesty lemon butter mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.

Serve the fish fillets on plates, drizzled with any remaining butter sauce from the baking dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
