  • 4 Fish fillet (see note above)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 3 slices Lemon (1/2 lemon)
  • 1 cup Cilantro ( chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Chopped onion ((optional) )
  • 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ inch Ginger (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 small Green chili ((optional) )

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C / Gas Mark 6
  • Prep the fish - Wash, clean, and pat dry the fish. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Prepare marinade - Blend the marinade ingredients - cilantro, garlic, ginger, onions, salt, pepper, and oil into a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle.
  • Pan - Line a baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Spray or brush with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Pro tip - make sure the fish is dry otherwise the marinade will slide down the fillets as soon as they are in the oven.
  • Marinate the fish - Place the fish on the baking tray and spread the marinade over the fish fillets evenly. Top each with a slice of lemon.Pro tip - Alternatively, you can add the fillets to the marinade bowl and leave them to marinate for an hour on the counter or overnight in the fridge
  • Bake - Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
  • Cool - remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.Pro tip - Use a large flat spatula to pick and transfer the fish without breaking.
