Why You Should Never Skip Making Homemade Fish Food: A Step-by-Step Guide
Ingredients:
3 fresh fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)-Use the right amount of fish you need.
1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even, consistent cooking. Brush the fish fillets with olive oil and drizzle with lemon juice for a boost of flavor.
Season the Fish Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper generously on both sides of the fish. Be sure to coat them evenly to avoid bland bites.
Cook Quickly for Perfection Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet and pop them into the preheated oven. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid Overcooking Remove the fish from the oven as soon as it’s opaque and tender. Overcooking results in dry, tough fish—something you don’t want.
Garnish and Serve Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve with lemon wedges on the side. It’s a simple but tasty finishing touch!
