3-4 fish fillets cod, tilapia, mahi mahi, catfish or other smaller white fish. Salmon frozen cut into 2-3" pieces would be same timing, whole fillet would take much longer
2 lemons
2 tbsp butter melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili pepper flakes optional
1 tbsp parsley optional

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place 3 slices of fresh lemon under each frozen fillet on sheet.
Top the fillets with melted butter and then sprinkle with chili pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Bake approx. 20-23 minutes or until fillets are cooked thorough to the center and fork tender.
Timing will vary depending on how thick yours are and what type of fish you're baking.
