Boston Bluefish

Ingredients

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1 teaspoon

Dried thyme

1 teaspoon

Paprika

1 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Bluefish fillets

4 (6-ounce) fillets

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. Place the bluefish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This will form a flavorful marinade that will infuse the fish with a delightful blend of herbs and spices.
4. Using a basting brush, generously coat the bluefish fillets with the marinade, ensuring they are evenly covered.
5. Bake the bluefish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This is the best way to check for doneness.
6. Remove the bluefish from the oven and garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving. The freshness of the parsley complements the rich flavors of the fish and provides a pop of color to the dish.
