I like baking fish in the oven because is healthier than cooking in a skillet. In Romanian, most of the fish is associated with garlic, but I like it also with lemon, lots of lemon.
I found perch fillet in the store and I bought it for my little boy. When you buy fillet you get fish with almost no bones. He loves to eat fish so I try to have it on the table as often as possible.
This recipe is very simple and very tasteful.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 fish fillets (perch or other fish) around 600 g -800 g total
- 4 garlic glove
- 2 lemons (1 is for decorations)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chili flakes (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees F). Grease a baking pan with 1 table spoon of butter. Place the fillets in the baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Mix the rest of the butter with juice from 1 lemon. Pour over fillets. Cover the baking pan and bake it for 20 – 25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle the chili flakes on top.
Serve it with rice or nature potentates. Enjoy!
Love it 😍 reminds of Dover sole w lemon 🍋 Lord send this simple dish to every new town in the new economy on earth as it is in heaven 🧡🚀♾
Simple, easy, and healthy — the perfect combination (especially for a garlic lover like me). I love recipes like these that show that a nutritious, hearty, and wholesome meal does not have to be complicated. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
That sounds nice. I haven’t seen perch on sale here in the UK but maybe another white fish. I think I have some hake fillets in the freezer so….
I think it goes with any fish
This would work well with fillets of plaice but I never saw that on sale in Romania. Petronela really likes it but I cook in a frying pan with very little butter so as ‘healthy’ as in the oven but easier to tackle the biggest enemy of fish – overcooking. It’s such a delicate taste I’m not sure about garlic but I’ll try it for interest.
But of course the only ocean fish in Romania I saw frequently was mackerel – too strong tasting for this recipe I think. I think perch would be a rarity to find on sale here, not only in Wales but the whole of the UK. Romania is much better with fresh water fish. Here we’d have to rely on a friendly angler.
Enjoy it with angler!
I’m not a big fish lover but this really does look good! I like the simplicity!

I cooked fish this evening for dinner being somewhat of a pescatarian I’m always looking for new fish recipes. Thanks for this.
You are welcome
Oh, this reminds me of spring/summer afternoons and patio dinners 🙂
oh I miss perch. I grew up in Michigan, catching & eating perch most of my life. Hard to find perch in Arizona. I still saved this however…for when I do ♡ #hope
thanks for sharing
oh by the way, it’s also better in oven “for me” because that way I won’t break or have sticking issues.
Enjoy!
Divine!
Thank you
Easy, simple, tasty. A little breadcrumbs would add some extra crunchiness to it!
Sounds great!
