How to Make Baked Fish With Mustard Marinade

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry 1 lb fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or your favorite). Place skin-side down in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20-60 minutes (longer marinating time enhances flavor).
  6. Place the uncovered baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  7. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh dill or lemon wedges, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
