How to Make Basting Sauce For Grilled Fish

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Before grilling, generously coat both sides of your fish fillets with the basting sauce.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place fish on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for thinner fillets, or 7-9 minutes per side for thicker fillets, basting frequently with the remaining sauce.
  6. Check for doneness by flaking the fish with a fork; it should flake easily. Serve immediately and enjoy!
