Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan).
  2. Lay the fish fillets in a buttered baking dish, skin side down if they have skin.
  3. Lightly salt and pepper the fillets, then dot them with small knobs of butter.
  4. Drizzle with lemon juice and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving, with a few lemon wedges on the side.

Variations and tips

Herb version. Add snipped chives and chopped dill to the butter for a fresher flavour.

Using what's easy to find. Hake or cod is sold in every supermarket; any firm white fillet will do.
