½ cup Flour (we used all purposed Gluten-Free flour)
½tsp Ground Coriander
1 teaspoonPaprika
¼teaspoonCumin
½teaspoonGround Oregeno
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 ½tablespoonFinely Chopped Parsley
Instructions
Pre-Heat the oven to 400°F
Dredging Powder
Combine the flour with the coriander, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Lemon Garlic Sauce
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, melted butter, and chopped garlic. Mix well.
Dredge the Fish
Dip the fish filet in the lemon-garlic mixture and then into the flour. Place on a plate while you dredge the remaining fish fillets. At this point, you could cover the fish and place it in the refrigerator if you're prepping the dish to cook later in the day/evening.
Add about one tablespoon into a cast iron skillet (or any oven-safe skillet) and heat until it shimmers.
Cook the Fish
Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook on medium-low heat until a golden brown crust forms on the fish. Do not filp it too soon. It should take about 2 to three minutes. When it's golden brown filp the fish and brown on the other side.
After you've browned all the fish, pour the lemon-garlic sauce over the fish and bake in a pre-heated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Remember, the fish will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven.
Sprinkle the fish with the chopped parsley and serve, spooning the sauce over the fish after you plate it.
