🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Cayenne pepper adds heat and is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Prep the ingredients: mince the garlic, cut lemon slices for garnish using half the lemon and reserving the other half, slice fish & place on a sheet pan.

Heat the pan on low-medium heat, melt the butter then add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally so it doesn’t burn.

Squeeze in remaining lemon (about 1-2 tsp depending on how sour you like it). Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Season the fish with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.

Spoon the garlic butter over the top of the fish coating it well.

Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes or until cooked through.

Enjoy right away or let it cool and use for meal prep.
