directions

- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn over to coat both sides with oil. Top the fish with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fish.
