Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Rub remaining olive oil over the fish fillets and place into the prepared baking dish. Season fish with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; top with minced garlic. Drizzle lime juice evenly over the fish. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange lemon slices, tomato slices, onion slices, and bell pepper slices artfully atop the fish, ensuring even coverage. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam and ensure the fish remains moist and flavorful.

05

Step

Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes. Check for doneness at 30 minutes to avoid overcooking. (30-40 minutes)

For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavor will truly shine!
Feel free to experiment with different types of white fish, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia.
If you don't have fresh lime juice, bottled lime juice can be used, but the flavor will be slightly different.
To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic powder.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
