Ingredients:
– 2 large fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or tilapia)
– 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
– 1 lemon, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or dill)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter or olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Drizzle the butter or oil mixture over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently rub the mixture onto the fish to enhance the flavor.
5. Place the lemon slices on top of the fish fillets, distributing them evenly. The lemon adds a tangy flavor and helps keep the fish moist during baking.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
7. Once the fish is cooked through, remove the foil and switch the oven to the broil setting. Broil the fish for an additional 2-3 minutes to give it a golden crust.
8. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fish rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
You can serve the baked fish with steamed low-carb vegetables or a side salad for a complete keto-friendly meal. Enjoy!
