  • Step 3: Place the fish fillets in a nonreactive container, or a 1-gallon ziplock plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish and refrigerate for 4 - 6 hours.

  • Step 4: Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F. Oil a long, shallow glass or enamel baking dish. Spoon a thin layer of marinade on the bottom of the baking dish. Add the fish and cover with the remaining marinade. Bake for 30 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes with a fork. Serve hot.
