Ingredients:

  • 2 Basa fillets (approximately 6 oz/170g each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed) (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed) (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (1.25 ml)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
  3. Pat the Basa fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the sweet Dijon glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). The glaze should be nicely caramelized.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.
