How to Make Plain Simple Catch Of The Day Broiled Fish

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Pat the fish fillets (about 1 pound) dry with paper towels. This helps them brown nicely.
  3. Place the fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet or broiler pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
  6. Broil for 8-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
