Baked Alaska Pollock is a light, flaky, and flavorful seafood dish baked with a simple lemon-garlic butter sauce. This mild white fish cooks quickly and delivers a healthy, protein-rich meal that’s perfect for weeknights or elegant dinners alike.

Ingredients

  • 4 Alaska pollock fillets (about 6 oz each, fresh or thawed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the pollock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Brush each fillet with olive oil or melted butter, then season with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle lemon juice over the top.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
  5. Remove from oven, sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley, and serve warm with lemon slices.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake—pollock cooks quickly and can dry out if left too long.
  • Thaw frozen fillets completely and pat dry before seasoning.
  • Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for a balanced meal.
  • Add a light lemon butter or mustard sauce for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in the oven.
