Note
For best results, use a firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or sea bass.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
You can add a splash of white wine to the lemon-oil mixture for extra depth of flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the fish.
