Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the minced garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate the flavors evenly.
Stir in the chopped parsley, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Place your fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, halibut, or tilapia) into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour to prevent the lemon juice from "cooking" the fish.
Remove the fish from the marinade before cooking. Discard any remaining marinade and prepare your fish as desired (grilling, baking, or pan-searing).
