Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz.) portion Wild Alaska Pollock fillet
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Sauce or seasoning of choice (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Meanwhile, pat fish fillets dry with a tea towel or paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Lightly coat fillets with oil so that they don’t stick, then dress with any sauces or spices.
3. Transfer to oven and set timer for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Wild Alaska Pollock is medium-done when it has reached an internal temperature of 130F on an instant-read thermometer at its thickest part, or when it can be flaked easily with a fork. Add more cooking time as needed to reach desired doneness.
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have a certain medical condition. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for cooked fish.
