Preparation

Step 1

Cut fillets into serving sizes. Melt butter in sauce pan or microwave. Add lemon juice to melted butter.

In another dish, mix together flour, salt & pepper.

Dip fish into butter/lemon mix, then lightly coat with the flour mixture, coating well on all sides.

Place coated fillets in an ungreased baking dish. Drizzle remaining butter mix over fillets. Sprinkle entire dish with paprika.

Bake, uncovered in 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork.
