Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13×9 baking pan lightly to prevent sticking.

  2. Arrange Fish: Place the fish filets in the prepared baking pan in a single layer.

  3. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the fish filets.

  4. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and lemon juice until well combined.

  5. Coat Fish: Drizzle the butter mixture over the fish, ensuring each filet is coated evenly.

  6. Add Onions: Spread the thinly sliced onions over the fish filets, distributing them evenly.

  7. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

  8. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor and presentation.

Recipe Notes

  • Choosing Fish: Opt for firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia for best results.
  • Variations: Experiment with different herbs or spices such as paprika or garlic powder to suit your taste preferences.
  • Side Suggestions: Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad to complement the dish’s flavors while keeping it low in carbs.
