Baked Fish with Lemon and Black Pepper Recipe
This baked fish recipe comes together with lemon juice, garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. It’s low-carb and keeps the ingredient list simple; the key is baking just until the fish turns opaque so it stays moist. Follow the how-to steps and serve it hot.
Ingredients
1. Seasoning and sauce
2. For baking
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven
Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper so the fish won’t stick.
Mix the seasoning
In a small bowl, combine salt, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper. Stir in the garlic and lemon juice to make a quick paste.
Coat the fish
Place the fillets on the tray. Spread a thin, even layer of the lemon-garlic spice mix over the top (and a bit on the sides).
Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on thickness. The fish is done when it turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork—don’t overbake.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 1–2 minutes after baking. Add a small squeeze of lemon if you like, then serve hot.
