salt and pepper to taste
lemon slices for serving

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

first) with a paper towel and season with salt
and pepper. Lay on a baking sheet sprayed with
non-stick spray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
While fish is baking, mix butter with garlic,
thyme and parmesan cheese.
Remove fish from oven and gently flip. Spread
about 1/2 tablespoons of butter mixture on the
