A delightful baked fish recipe infused with citrus and herbs for a fresh and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and orange zest to the melted butter and stir until the breadcrumbs are golden and fragrant.
Keep stirring to prevent the breadcrumbs from burning.
Place the fish fillets in a buttered ovenproof dish.
Ensure the fillets are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the fish fillets evenly.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the fish to help them adhere.
Squeeze the orange juice over the fish and season with salt and pepper.
Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor.
Bake the fish uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
