Baked Fish with Lemon

Fish baked with lemon is one of the most reliable recipes for a weeknight dinner: minimal prep, a single sheet pan, and a result that’s hard to mess up. Lemon does double duty here — its acidity gently “cooks” the surface of the fish and sharpens its flavor, while the zest and juice add a bright citrus note that balances the mild taste of white fish perfectly.

Any smaller white fish with a firm but tender texture works well for this recipe — cod, pollock, haddock, or similar. The key is not to overcook the fillets: white fish cooks fast, and the moment it stops looking translucent and starts flaking easily with a fork, it needs to come out of the oven.
