Fishy Fridays

One of my favourite (and easiest) recipes for a main course is baked fish. Essentially, it just just a fish fillet sprinkled with a variety of things (salt, pepper, paprika, and dill is my favourite combination), and a dash of paprika, and wrapped in aluminum foil. Fresh fish bakes at medium heat for 20-30 minutes, and frozen fish at 50-60.
Add to a salad
I added orange slices to this one.

When roasting vegetables at the same time, I just top it with fish and cover the entire thing in foil.
