Mustard honey white fish from culinary mystery author @DarylWoodGerber

From Daryl aka Avery:

I am gearing up for all sorts of publicity and giveaways for GRILLING THE SUBJECT, which comes out August 2!  Because of that, I'm constantly thinking  of barbecue and spicy, savory recipes. I have a bunch in the book, of course, but I want to make more. It is summer, after all.

A couple of months ago, I made a mustard honey sauce and used it on chicken. It was delicious. One of our readers asked if it could be used for fish. I decided why not try it and let you guys know.

The answer? Yes! It can. It is delicious.

I keep frozen fish from Costco in the freezer so that I eat at least one portion of white fish a week. I used a mahimahi fish filet! Frozen. I didn't defrost it. The fish goes right from the skillet into the oven. The fish turned out moist and flaky and oh, so, savory!


MUSTARD HONEY SAUCE WITH WHITE FISH

Ingredients:

For mustard rub:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1tablespoon whole grain mustard
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For sauce:

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 springs rosemary, snipped


4 6-ounce white fish filets (I bought fast-frozen at Costco)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°  F.

In a small bowl, make the mustard rub by combining all ingredients. Rub on top and under the fish pieces.


Now in another small bowl, make the sauce by mixing the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and water. Set aside.




In an ovenproof skillet, heat the 4 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high. When the oil is hot, set the fish pieces in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes. The oil will spit! Using tongs, turn the fish and cook another 2-3 minute to sear the fish.







Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the mustard-honey sauce on top.  Sprinkle with the rosemary and set in the oven for 25-30 minutes. You want the fish to cook through.

Remove from oven and enjoy. This is super delicious!

  1. Looks great Daryl. And for lower sodium, use the wonderful Canadian mustard I discovered instead of Dijon--can't wait to try this!

    1. Thanks, Lucy. BTW I removed the pic of onions. Those went into the rice pilaf I served with the fish. ~ Daryl

  2. This does sound tasty and easy.
    The picture under the "In an ovenproof skillet..." paragraph looks like diced onions being sauted. What is it?

    1. Libby, it is easy! BTW I removed the pic of onions. Those went into the rice pilaf I served with the fish. I grabbed a selection of pictures and totally MISSED that. A fan on FB reminded me. LOL ~ Daryl

  3. I have always thawed fish before cooking it. I have to try this. Seems so much quicker. No thinking ahead!

  5. I make a mix of equal parts honey and spicy brown mustard with a couple of shakes of dried dill for salmon but I never thought of using something similar for white fish.

    1. I find that anything that works on salmon works on white fish. It's such a basic palette! (As opposed to palate. LOL) ~ Daryl
