Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces (optional, for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the zesty glaze generously over each fish fillet, ensuring each is thoroughly coated.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the fish for a bright and fresh garnish.
Serve the Zippy Fish Fillets with optional lemon wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
