This whiting fish recipe is a healthy way to enjoy crispy baked whiting, without spending all of your time in the kitchen. My family enjoys it — even the kids will be looking forward to the next time I make fish.

Ingredients

• 4 whiting fish fillets
• ½ cup milk, or as needed
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or more to taste
• 1 pinch onion powder, or more to taste
• 1 pinch paprika, or more to taste
• salt to taste
• 1 roma (plum) tomato, diced
• 4 teaspoons butter, or more to taste
• 2 lemons, halved, or more to taste (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place whiting fillets in a baking dish and add enough milk to cover the entire bottom of the dish. Season fillets with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Top each fillet with at least 3 tomato pieces. Add butter to each fillet. Squeeze 1 lemon half over each fillet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes.
