Instructions

1
Heat the oven. Preheat to 400°F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil a baking dish.
2
Prepare the fish. Pat the fillets very dry. Rub with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
3
Add aromatics. Place the fish on the pan. Top with garlic, lemon slices, herbs, and small dots of butter.
4
Roast. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness. A thinner fillet may finish in 9-11 minutes.
5
Check doneness. Remove when the thickest part reaches 130-135°F and flakes with gentle pressure. Rest 3 minutes before serving.
6
Finish. Spoon the pan juices over the fish and add a squeeze of fresh lemon.
