  3. Pat fish dry. Rub spice mixture on all the fillets.
  4. Place 2 lemon slices on each fillet (optional you can just squeeze the lemon juice but I like the roasted lemon)
  5. Place fish on foiled or sprayed baking sheet . Bake for 25 min or until fish flakes with fork. My fillets were pretty thick. If you are using the thin fillets baking time will be less.
