Fish with mustard glaze
Ingredients: (2 servings) Fillets of perch / pike perch (boneless) – 2 pcs Fresh juice from a small lemon Honey – 2 teaspoons Mustard with honey / Dijon – 6 teaspoons Parsley – ½ bunch Dill – ½ bunch Dried herbs (Provence) – 2 teaspoons (strictly optional) Salt and white pepper – to taste
To prepare a delicious fish fillet glazed with mustard sauce, we start by preparing the fish. If it has skin, make sure to remove the scales with a special scraper or a knife, being careful not to damage the flesh. After cleaning the fish, rinse it under a stream of cold water and dry it with paper towels. Then, sprinkle a small amount of salt and pepper on both fillets to add a touch of flavor from the very beginning.
Next, finely chop the parsley and dill, two herbs that will provide a fresh taste and pleasant color to the dish. In a small bowl, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the mustard, honey, chopped dill, parsley, and dried herbs. This marinade will add an unmistakable flavor to the fish and will help caramelize it during cooking.
Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet, making sure they are arranged in a single layer. Generously brush them with the prepared mustard sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Then, place everything in a 6-quart Crock Pot, setting the device to 'Saute' mode and selecting the 'high' temperature. The cooking time will be approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, but it is important to check the cooking based on the size of the fillets, as they may require more or less time.
After the time is up, remove the fillets from the Crock Pot and place the aluminum pan on the stove, where you will wash it well to remove cooking residues. Heat it well, and then fry each fillet for about 1 minute on the side with the mustard glaze, so you achieve a crispy and delicious crust. This step will add an interesting texture and a pleasant contrast to the tender flesh of the fish.
Once all the fillets are ready, you can serve them immediately, accompanied by a fresh salad or vegetable sides. Enjoy your meal! This recipe is not only simple but will also delight your taste buds, transforming an ordinary meal into an unforgettable culinary experience.
