For thicker fillets, increase baking time by 5-10 minutes. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. Garlic powder, dill, or thyme are excellent additions. To prevent the fish from drying out, you can tent the baking dish with aluminum foil during the first half of the baking time. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
