How to Make Baked Fish With Lemon Black Pepper
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut work well), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Gently toss to coat the fish evenly.
- Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 50-60 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish for maximum deliciousness.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly coat an 8x8 inch baking dish with 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
- Arrange the marinated fish fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the fish.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle generously with fresh lemon juice (about 2 tbsp) before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill if desired.
