Ingredients:

Serving

2 lemons
cooking spray
4 (6-oz) red snapper or other firm white fish fillets
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary , thyme , basil , or parsley)
fresh herb sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°.
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.
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.
While fish bakes, combine reserved lemon rind, butter, and herbs in a small bowl.
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.
