Ingredients

  • 4 6- ounce firm white fish fillets such as barramundi, frozen*
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 meyer lemons one thinly sliced, one zested and juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary plus 1 teaspoon, minced
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon, minced
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Remove the fish fillets from their packaging and run under cold tap water for a few seconds to remove the thin protective coating of ice. Use paper towels to pat each fillet very dry.
  • Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on a parchment lined baking sheet and place the fillets on top. Season both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Layer slices of lemon over each fillet, then scatter the rosemary and thyme sprigs on top. Drizzle with more olive oil, then bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the flesh has turned opaque.
  • While the fish is baking, make the vinaigrette. In a bowl, whisk together the meyer lemon zest, juice, garlic, minced rosemary, minced thyme, minced parsley and 3 tablespoons olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  • When the fish is done, remove the lemon slices and herbs, then use a spatula to carefully transfer each fillet to a plate. Top with a spoonful of Meyer lemon vinaigrette. Serve immediately with extra vinaigrette and Meyer lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • *This recipe can easily be made with fresh fish as well. Just be sure to cut down the baking time to about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
