Baked lemon fish

Ingredients

700 g white fish fillets
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 pinch of paprika spice


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (170 °C).

Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces approx. 4 x 4 cm in size.

Melt the butter, then add the lemon juice.

Mix the flour with the salt and white pepper on a plate and coat the fish pieces in the breading.

Briefly fry the breaded fish pieces in the butter on both sides, then place them in a fireproof dish and pour the rest of the melted butter over them, then spread a little bit of the paprika spice over them and then bake the whole thing at 350 °F (170 °C) for about 20 - 25 minutes Let the oven cook.

Traditionally the fish is served with vegetables and potatoes.
