Found in the magazine Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast. It is a light and easy meal. You could change the fish to any white fish and I'm sure it would work also. Ingredients:
2 lemons |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
4 (6 ounce) red snapper |
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme |
chopped fresh thyme (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Grate rind of remaining lemon to measure 1 teaspoon; set aside. Reserve second lemon for another use.
3. Combine salt, paprika and pepper; sprinkle over fish. Arrange fish and lemon wedges on a rimmmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray (I cover the sheet with foil then spray for easy clean-up). Bake at 425 degrees for 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
4. While fish bakes, combine 1 teaspoon grated rind, butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme in a small bowl.
5. Place fish on individual serving plates; top each fillet with herb butter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped fresh thyme, if desired.
