Ingredients
1 pound frozen haddock or cod fillets
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Microwave Method: Arrange frozen fish fillets in a microwave-safe dish, spacing them evenly. Drizzle the lemon juice over the fillets and sprinkle with dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the dish loosely with a paper towel or microwave-safe lid to prevent splattering. Microwave on high power for 4–6 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Skillet Method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Thaw the fish fillets slightly if desired for more even cooking, or cook from frozen.
Place the fillets in the hot skillet and immediately drizzle with lemon juice. Season generously with dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring gently or turning fillets once halfway through, until the fish becomes opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving plate and serve immediately while hot.
