Instructions
  1. Pre heat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Place fish skin side down in the middle of a glass or pyrex cooking dish. The fish should not feel cramped because you’ll need room around the fish for water in order for it to steam.
  3. Lightly dust the top of the fish with sea salt, white pepper and garlic powder.
  4. Place lemon slices on top of the fish. As an example, you might use one or two for a single serving of fish.
  5. Add enough water to the baking dish so that there’s about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of water surround the fish. Cover the baking dish with foil and place into the oven.
  6. Timing is everything with this recipe. Typically I’ll leave the fish in for 8 minutes undisturbed. The flesh should have turned a lighter pink color and should easily flake apart if done. If it’s not, wait another 4 minutes and check again. Repeat if necessary. It’s rare that you’ll have to cook the fish past 16 minutes unless the filet is very thick (more than 2 inches at the thickest part).
  7. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
  8. Save extras in a sealed container in the fridge to use for the next couple of days.
