Happy New Year from the Wesley on Wellness Cooking Show! January is a wonderful time for fresh starts, especially if you’re beginning your cooking journey. Our host, Angela Gula, encourages our viewers to make positive changes in how we care for others and ourselves. This month, Angela shares a light, delicious recipe of baked lemon fish with garlic butter that has easy steps and approachable ingredients, offering a meal that nourishes the body and uplifts the mind.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. white fish fillets
- 4 TBSP salted butter
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 lemon
- ½ Tsp sea salt
- ½ Tsp pepper
- Minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 °F
- Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop
- Add the garlic to the butter and let it cook for 1 minute
- Zest the lemon and add it to the butter, then slice the lemon up
- Thinly slice the zested lemon and place the slices in the bottom of a baking dish. If there are extras, save them for the top of the fish
- Dry the fish with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper, then lay the fish on top of the lemon slices. Spoon or brush the garlic butter over the fish
- Bake the fish for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork
- TIP: Serve over rice, it’ll soak up the garlic butter!
- Serve and enjoy!
