- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- ½ -1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. ground white pepper
- 1 stick butter, melted
- zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray 13"x9" baking dish with non-stick spray; set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and butter. In a separate shallow bowl, mix flour and seasonings. Dip fillets in lemon juice mixture, then in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.
Place in prepared baking dish. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare Lemon Butter Sauce
Mix parsley and lemon peel; sprinkle over baked fish.
Lemon Butter Sauce: In a blender, process the lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper until the garlic is fully incorporated. While still running at a low speed, pour the melted butter in through the lid opening, blending until emulsified.
Pour into a bowl and stir in lemon zest and any pan juices from the baking dish.
Pour or spoon over fish which has been placed on individual serving plates, with a steamed vegetable and a scoop of cous cous or rice pilaf, alongside.
