How to Make Fish Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  2. Add the chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, and thyme), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. Place your fish fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor. (For thicker fish, longer marinating time is recommended)
  5. When ready to cook, preheat your grill, oven, or pan. Place the fish on the cooking surface.
  6. During cooking, regularly baste the fish with the remaining marinade for added flavor and moisture.
