- 3 fillets of Orange Roughy (halibut or cod would work too)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh basil or 1-2 tsp dried basil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Combine the above ingredients in a large zip lock bag making sure to mix them thoroughly. Marinate for 2-4 hours. Only add the zest for marinating...don't add lemon juice until you are cooking the meal because the acid in the lemon will start to cook the fish.
Remaining Ingredients:
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Add the lemon juice to the fish in the bag. Combine ingredients well then pour into the baking dish; add bits of butter to the top of the fish.
Cover with lid or tin foil and cook for 10-12 minutes per 1-inch thickness. Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon zest & lemon slices. Enjoy.
