Ingredients
- 4 small white fish fillets like haddock, cod, tilapia, or sole (about 1 ½ pounds total)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning with salt I use my Cajun Seasoning Mix
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill minced
- 1 lemon halved
Instructions
- If frozen, the fish should be fully thawed before beginning.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F. Lightly coat a medium baking dish (11- x 7-inches) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pat the fish dry with paper towels and place it in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the seasoning and dill. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the fish.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake until the fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and squeeze the juice from ½ a lemon over the fish.
- Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges to serve with the fish.
Notes
Storing Leftovers: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Gently reheat in the microwave at reduced power or in a low oven just until warmed through to avoid drying it out.
