    Line a cookie sheet or cake pan with foil, and spray the foil with a light cooking spray. Place your fish fillets (skin-side down, if it has any) on the pan. Season with lemon pepper, or fresh black pepper and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Bake it in the oven at 350. Average frozen fillets take like half an hour, but it depends on the fish. If you have an internal heat thermometer, the thicketst part of the fillet should be 140 degrees.

    My easy white fish meal is:

    1. any white fish (cod is great)
    2. a can of stewed or diced tomatoes (any kind you like)

    add to casserole dish and bake at 350 for around 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick the fish is)

    Not only easy and yummy, but really good for you (and the tomatoes keep the fish from drying out).

    ENJOY!!

    Put a good dryrub on it whether it is jerk seasoning, cajun, italian ect... Put it in a 350 oven until done usually 20-30 minutes and have a fresh lime wedge to squeeze on there and enjoy! Flavorful and guiltless!:happy:

    That's what we do - super yummy :smile: DH got it from the Biggest Loser cookbook - I think he adds sliced green olives to the tomatoes.
