Ingredients:

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (Cod, Halibut, or Mahi Mahi)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Lay the fish fillets on a plate and pat them aggressively with paper towels until the surface is completely matte.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano until fully emulsified.
  3. Use a pastry brush to apply a generous layer of the marinade to all sides of the fish fillets. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) with a large rimmed baking sheet inside to ensure the surface is hot.
  5. Carefully remove the hot sheet, line it with parchment paper, and lightly brush the paper with avocado oil.
  6. Place the fillets on the hot tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  7. Switch the oven to 'Broil' for the final 2 minutes, watching closely until the edges are mahogany-colored and the top is bubbling.
  8. Remove from oven and allow the fish to rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow internal temperatures to stabilize.
