Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 5 teaspoons olive oil divided, see below
  • 2 6 ounce fish fillets--I used haddock-- about 3/4-inch thick, dried off with paper towels
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Mix lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, and shallot in a small bowl. Add one tablespoon of oil to the bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour remaining two teaspoons of olive oil into the bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish with 2 inch sides. Tilt the pan so that the oil spreads out evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  • Place fish fillets (with presentation side down) on top of oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub fillets around in oil, and then flip over so that the presentation side is up. Season this side with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon 1 tablespoon of lime and ginger mixture over each fillet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and place fillets on serving plate. Spoon additional sauce over, distributing evenly.

Notes
