Method: 

 

Preheat an oven to 425°F.

Place the fish in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn and drizzle with the remaining oil, and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Place a slice of lemon on top of each fillet.

Place in the oven and roast until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a warm platter, sprinkle all with the minced chives and garnish with several stems of chives.

Note: Olive oil helps to keep the fish moist, as well as adding a delicate flavor, use a good gradeof olive oil. Plan on cooking the fish 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
