How to Make Baked Fish With Mustard Marinade
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 20-60 minutes (longer marinating time enhances flavor).
- 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.
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh dill or lemon wedges, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
