Ingredients

• 4 basa fillets, skin removed (6 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 lemons, sliced
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, making it easy to clean up afterwards.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.

Place the basa fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the mustard-honey mixture evenly over both sides of the basa fillets, making sure they’re fully coated.

Arrange the lemon slices on top of each fillet, dividing them evenly.

Bake the basa fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove the fillets from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Serve hot and enjoy your Sweet Dijon Basa Fillet!

Notes

Make sure to pat the basa fillets dry with a paper towel before applying the mustard-honey mixture for better adherence.

If using parchment paper, lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.

To ensure even cooking, try to make the basa fillets as uniform as possible in size and thickness.

Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can affect the cooking time and evenness of cooking.

If you prefer a crispy top, broil the fillets for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking.
