A flavorful marinade that enhances the taste of fish, perfect for those who are not typically fans of seafood.
Combine the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, finely chopped shallot, chopped basil, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
Use a whisk to ensure the ingredients are well blended for a uniform marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Massage the bag gently to distribute the marinade evenly over the fish.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
For a stronger flavor, you can marinate the fish for up to 4 hours.
Cook the marinated fish using your preferred method, such as baking, grilling, or pan-searing.
Baking at 375°F for 15-20 minutes works well for most fish types.
Serve the cooked fish with your favorite side dishes and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a slice of lemon for added presentation.
