A flavorful and aromatic baked fish dish seasoned with traditional Egyptian spices. A healthy and delicious peanut-free dinner option.
Ingredients
- about 680 g White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia, cod)
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
- 2In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together until it forms a well-mixed marinade.
- 3Place the about 680 g of white fish fillets into a baking dish. Pour the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, making sure each piece is coated.

- 6Serve the baked fish hot.
