Main Ingredients

  • 2 limes juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Cooking

  • Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Serving

  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Storage

  • Store any leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
