How to Make Whitefish With Cilantro Pesto
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the whitefish fillets (about 6 ounces total) in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- In a food processor or blender, combine 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Process until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spread the cilantro pesto evenly over the top of the whitefish fillets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy dinner!
