Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Pro tip: For a stronger flavour, add a bit more mustard to the glaze.

Coat the fish

Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and evenly brush the mustard glaze over the top of each fillet.

Pro tip: Ensure the glaze is spread evenly for consistent flavour.

Bake the fish

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature.

Check doneness

Remove the fish from the oven and check for doneness. The fish should be opaque and flake easily.

Pro tip: If it's not done, return it to the oven for a few more minutes.

Serve

Transfer the fish to serving plates and serve immediately with your choice of sides.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Mustard Glazed Fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep the meal balanced and healthy. This dish pairs excellently with a crisp white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, enhancing the mustard's tanginess. To store leftovers, place the fish in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at a low temperature to preserve the fish's texture.
