Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat broiler. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine paprika and seasoned salt. Sprinkle paprika mixture over both sides of each fish fillet. Measure thickness of fish.
2. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. If desired, garnish with lemon wedges and/or parsley sprigs. Makes 8 servings.

Variation
Microwave directions: Prepare as directed through Step 1. In a microwave-safe 2-quart square baking dish, arrange fish in a single layer (fish may be tight in the dish but do not overlap). Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on 100% power (high) for 5 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning dish once halfway through cooking if necessary. If desired, garnish with lemon wedges and/or parsley sprigs.
