How to make it

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Brush the fish with olive oil. Pepper it. Bake 10–12 minutes until it flakes.

  3. 3

    Serve over rice with lemon squeezed on top.

No salt in the pan. Taste with lemon, garlic, and pepper. If it still needs a kick, use the salt-free Cajun mix on the Around Town page.
