Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Use a brush or the back of a spoon to evenly coat each fillet with the honey Dijon glaze. Ensure the fillets are generously covered with the glaze for maximum flavor.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets as a garnish before serving.
Serve the Honey Dijon Mustard Fish with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
