Bake for 20 minutes* and turn off the heat. Take the dish out of the oven and squeeze the lemon over the fillets, getting rid of any seeds.

Recipe Notes
*Baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Don’t toss the leftover juices in the baking dish. Stir in the sour cream with a spoon until you have a smooth and creamy sauce. Drizzle over the fish before serving.
This dish is best served with coconut rice. To make coconut rice: replace half of the water you would put in the white rice with coconut milk (canned is fine) and add a pinch of salt. Cook like regular rice. Fluff right after it is cooked.
