This delightful recipe features cod fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. It's a simple yet elegant dish that pairs perfectly with a side of steamed vegetables or rice.

Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Season the cod fillet with salt and pepper and place it in a baking dish.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the cod, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Honey Mustard Glazed Cod

Look for opaque flesh that separates into moist flakes; the surface should be glossy with glaze, not dry or chalky.
Use a snug baking dish so the honey-mustard glaze stays around the fillet instead of spreading thinly.
Chop the parsley just before serving for a fresher color and aroma.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked Sauvignon Blanc
Its bright acidity complements the lemon and mustard while balancing the honey's sweetness.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the fish may become firmer when reheated.
