0 oz
to taste
Olive Oil, Extra virgin
tablespoons
White Wine, Dry
0.25 fluid ounces
1. Season the Fish
Start by seasoning the fish generously with salt. Once seasoned, place the fish carefully in an oiled baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring it is well supported and evenly spaced.
2. Bake the Fish Fillets
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the dish with the fish inside the oven and bake for approximately 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Check the doneness of the fillets; they should appear opaque yet remain moist at the center and feel springy to the touch.
3. Bake a Whole Fish
If baking a whole fish, adjust your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Check for doneness by ensuring the flesh easily lifts away from the bones.
4. Enhance with Additional Flavors
Once your fish is cooked, drizzle with wine, olive oil, or melted butter for richness. Sprinkle with herbs and spices, or add a zest of citrus for a zing. If you have baked the fish in a sauce, add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time to let the flavors meld.
