- Preheat oven to 350°F. Thaw fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Brush fish with olive oil. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper on each fillet.
- Lay prepared fish fillets in a baking dish without overlap. Bake for 14 minutes.
- While fish is baking, add chicken broth and water in a large sauce pan and bring to a rapid boil.
