1. Preheat Oven
Turn your oven on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it's ready for baking.
2. Prep Fish
Check the thickness of your fish fillets at their thickest point. Lay the fish onto a rimmed baking sheet, skin side down if the skin is retained. Lightly drizzle each fillet with extra-virgin olive oil. Season generously with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Bake Fish
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the fish. Calculate 10 minutes of cooking time per inch of thickness. Keep an eye out for the perfect texture, which is opaque and tender to the touch of a fork but not yet flaking apart.
4. Serving
Once baked to perfection, transfer the fish fillets to serving plates. Accompany with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish and, if desired, an extra drizzle of exquisite olive oil.
Preheat your oven to 375-400°F and cook the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F or flakes easily with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
Choose fish fillets or steaks that are about 1-inch thick to ensure even cooking. Good options include cod, halibut, salmon, or sea bass. Freshness is key.
Use simple, effective seasoning. Incorporate salt, pepper, lemon zest, fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme, and spices such as paprika or cayenne for a kick.
After baking, finish the fish with fresh lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavors and add freshness.
Space the fish fillets or steaks so they're not touching, allowing for proper heat circulation and even cooking.
