- 4 fillets White fish (like cod or tilapia)
- 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt

- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 lemon Lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking dish with parchment or lightly oil it.
- Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
