Oven Baked Lemon Sablefish

Ingredients:

  • 1½ lbs. fresh Sablefish Fillets

  • 1 Tbsp melted Butter

  • ½ tsp Sea Salt

  • Zest of 1 Lemon (around 2 tsp)

  • 1 Tbsp fresh Lemon Juice

Directions:

  1. Whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, zest and salt.

  2. Arrange your fresh sablefish fillets skin side down in a large baking dish lined with parchment paper.

  3. Brush lemon butter mixture evenly over the fillet.

  4. Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for about 15 minutes.

  5. When 15 minutes have passed, check fillets. Flesh should easily flake with a fork and be an opaque white colour. If the fillets are still a little translucent, or if you aren't sure they are ready, leave them in the oven for a further 5-10 minutes. It is very hard to over-cook sablefish, so don't worry about drying it out.

  6. When the fillet is cooked through, turn the oven to broil and brown the top of the sablefish for about 4-5 minutes.

  7. Serve with rice, roasted potatoes or a big salad. Enjoy!
