Baked Fish Fillets



2 tbsp butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 skinless fish fillets (about 1-inch thick)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Grease a baking sheet with some of the melted butter.

2. Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the fish fillets and arrange them on the buttered baking sheet. Brush the fillets with the melted butter. Bake the fish fillets until they are done to taste, about 7-10 minutes. Serve fish with the parsley and lemon wedges as a garnish. Serves 4.

This basic recipe works with absolutely ANY type of fish fillet. If your fillets are thinner than 1-inch, reduce the cooking time slightly. If they are thicker, increase the cooking time.

*Jazz up this basic recipe by scattering 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion and/or 3 tbsp chopped black olives over the fish before baking. Substituting chopped fresh dill, mint, or cilantro for the parsley is also a tasty variation.
