Ingredients

    Full ingredients from scratch

    • 2 lemons
    • Cooking spray
    • 4 (6-ounce) red snapper or other firm white fish fillets
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 425°.
    2. Cut 1 lemon into 8 slices. Place slices, in pairs, on a rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Grate remaining lemon to get 1 teaspoon lemon rind; set aside. Reserve lemon for another use.
    3. Place 1 fillet on top of each pair of lemon slices. Combine salt, paprika, and pepper; sprinkle evenly over fish. Bake at 425° for 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
    4. While fish bakes, combine reserved lemon rind, butter, and herbs in a small bowl.
    5. Place fish and lemon slices on individual serving plates; top each fillet with herbed butter, spreading to melt, if desired. Garnish with herb sprigs, if desired.
