Honey Mustard Fish

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a good sauce. I especially love a meal where you can reserve a little extra and put it all over your veggies and potatoes or whatnot too. Also, I’m a sucker for honey. Best of both worlds, right here!

First, lay your fish filets in a baking dish sprayed with canola oil. The GFCF Husband was working late, so I only needed to do two tonight. Plus, for whatever reason I ended up with more smallish filets than normal in this purchase, so I needed to pawn those off on the kids.

Fish is tricky, because on the one hand there’s a concern over mercury content, but on the other it’s chock full of omega fatty acids, which are important for brain functioning. Here’s a list of the highest and lowest mercury-containing fish. Freshwater trout or salmon are the best choices overall, because they are the lowest in mercury ratings while highest in omega-3s. But whatever you do, please don’t construe any of this to be medical advice. I’m not a doctor, I’m just some chick on the internet, you know?

Honey. Mustard. See how easy this is? That’s 2 Tablespoons of each, which will ultimately be enough to cover more than two fish filets, but like I said, I love having extra sauce. I’m using Grey Poupon because it’s my favorite, but if your kids aren’t so keen on the grainier mustards, you could easily choose a different one. [As always, the brands I use were GFCF at the time of posting, but manufacturers can change formulas without warning. Check your labels, every time.]

Add 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon juice…

1/4 teaspoon of McCormick’s ground mustard…

1/4 teaspoon of McCormick’s dill weed…

And just a smidge of garlic. About 1/8 teaspoon of the jarred kind.

Mix well, and spread over the back of the fish. Keep that sauce bowl on hand so you can put the rest on your plate when it comes out of the oven.

Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked all the way through and flakes easily with a fork. That makes this, like, a 20-minute meal total, and it just doesn’t get any better than that. Plus, do you have any idea how good this smells? There’s only one way to find out–well, besides showing up at my doorstep, which I don’t recommend. I’m not sharing.

Happy Eating!
