| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). |
| 2 | Place the fish fillets in a baking pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced. |
| 3 | In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice and butter. Stir gently until the butter is melted and fully incorporated into the orange juice, creating a smooth sauce. |

| 6 | Carefully transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. |
| 7 | After 10 minutes, remove the baking pan from the oven and pour the remaining orange sauce over the fish fillets. |
| 8 | Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. |
| 9 | Once fully cooked, remove the baking pan from the oven and sprinkle the baked fish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish. |
| 10 | Optionally, for an added touch of texture and flavor, garnish the baked fish with slivered almonds before serving. |
| 11 | Serve the Baked Fish with Orange Sauce hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad, and enjoy the refreshing burst of citrus flavor with each bite! |
