Spicy Baked Fish (ready in 20 minutes)

 

This spicy baked fish is delicious, healthy and ready in 20 minutes. 

It always surprises me how easy it is to cook fish. This spicy baked fish recipe is prepared and on the table in less than 20 minutes, making it a great, healthy, midweek meal.

The only drawback I find with fish though, is that it can be on the bland side. The exception being salmon which I adore and is anything but bland. That’s why I came up with this spicy baked fish dish. All the goodness of fish but with a little kick, too.

As a Brit, I love my fish dipped in batter and deep-fried to perfection. Add some thick chips and a few scraps and I am in heaven. Not so awesome for the waistline though.

This dish is not only quick and simple but really healthy, too. It’s baked so there’s no need for tons of fat – just a touch of olive oil is all that is needed.

In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
