Ingredients

Scale

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp. honey
  • 6 Tbsp. grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • Dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Fish

  • 14 ounces skinless, boneless grouper
  • Freshly minced parsley, as garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the grouper.
  2. Prepare the glaze: In a small mason jar, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, grainy Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Close the jar tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
  3. Prepare the grouper: Rinse the grouper under cold water and drain well. Use paper towels to pat the fish completely dry to help the glaze adhere better during baking.
  4. Arrange in baking dish: Place the dried grouper into a 2.5 Qt. (2.3L) round or oval baking dish, ensuring the fish lays flat for even cooking.
  5. Marinate with glaze: Pour about 1/3 cup of the honey mustard glaze evenly over the grouper. Allow it to marinate while the oven heats up to help the flavors penetrate the fish.
  6. Bake the fish: Place the baking dish in the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 142°F to 145°F (61°C to 63°C) at its thickest part.
  7. Serve: Remove the grouper from the oven and transfer portions to serving plates. Spoon an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of the glaze from the baking dish or jar over the fish. Garnish generously with freshly minced parsley and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the grouper is dry before applying the glaze for optimal adhesion and flavor absorption.
  • Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked fish.
  • The glaze can also be prepared in advance and refrigerated for added convenience.
  • If desired, adjust the cayenne pepper to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
