Are you ready to try something new for dinner? This very best fish recipe ever is bursting with savory flavors and is foolproof. Wow your family tonight!
I was always intimidated by fish until I stumbled upon this amazing recipe, and I have been meaning to share it for ages. I got the original version from my dear friend, Jenny, during a mom’s-night-out recipe swap back when we both lived in Seattle. We were so chatty that night that I only ended up writing down two recipes, but this was one of them.
In the years since, I have tweaked it just a bit. It is one of my family’s very favorite meals and it is also a fantastic—and super easy—dish to serve guests (provided they eat seafood).
The really great thing about this recipe is that it works with pretty much any type of fish or seafood. The original recipe called for halibut, which I love, but it’s very hard to get here in Florida. I have used tilapia, mahi-mahi, salmon, flounder, cod and shrimp with this recipe, and they have all turned out wonderful. Another easy fish recipe that has become a family favorite during the warmer months is this Fish Taco recipe.
If you are following a low-carb lifestyle or a ketogenic or “keto” diet, this recipe fits perfectly into those eating plans as well!

Oh my goodness! It is sooooo easy to make, doesn’t require fancy ingredients, cooks quickly and is incredibly tasty!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! It will enter my permanent recipe rotation!
This truly is the best fish recipe ever. I have sent this around to my friends and family. I usually use half the dill and I often add more vegetables like frozen peas or fresh broccoli to it. I often cook the fish by itself a few minutes at 425 and then put it back in with the sauce on top. Then, I broil for just a minute. Discovered a glass pan will break if you try to repeatedly broil in it Love this recipe! 5 stars!
This recipe looks really yummy. my oven however does not have a broiler. I'll have to bake the recipe instead. This will take a bit longer to cook but the results should be close. I'll let you know temps and time involved. Thanks for a great recipe!!
This recipe is so good. Thanks for the recipe.
OMG....This recipe was soooooo delicious it made me literally dance when I tasted it, really, ask my kids. They were standing there in the dining room laughing at their mama. it's so good my husband even asked me for the recipe so he can cook it at the firehouse when he goes to work. And for a recipe to make it there, it has to be good. There was not one drop left, no leftovers, the next day I was ready for seconds too. Well, I guess I have to make it again. Thanks so very much for sharing this recipe, trust me it will be used again and again and again. I'm going to share it with my sister in Canada, and she's a natural born chef. She knows her food science, and I'm sure she'll enjoy this.
I can already imagine how great this will taste with the combination of butter, lemon, and parmesan! Perfect combination
This recipe lives up to it’s name! I have a kid that doesn’t like any type of seafood but he loves this dish!
I make this recipe often. Delicious and easy.
Did it with Flounder, great recipe simple and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!!
Great idea! Thanks, AJ!
I've this before with tilapia, but used flounder also, but love flounder the best
Really delicious fish recipe & so simple to prepare. Ready to eat in no time. Thanks for the super recipe….I’ve passed it on to many friends & they all love it too.
