2. Don’t Overcook the Fish
Overcooked fish can become dry and rubbery. Start checking for doneness at the 15-minute mark. The ideal internal temperature for cooked fish is 145°F (63°C), and it should flake easily with a fork.
3. Use Fresh Herbs if Possible
While dried herbs work well, fresh oregano or thyme can take the flavor to another level. Use 3x the amount of fresh herbs if substituting for dried.
4. Marinate Ahead of Time
If you have time, let the fish marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. This helps infuse the fillets with more flavor.
5. Customize with Extra Veggies
Add in sliced bell peppers, zucchini, or thinly sliced fennel for more texture and color.
