A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender fish fillets with a tangy lemon herb sauce.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Ensure the fillets are dry to help the seasoning stick better.
Place the fillets in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish, folding any thin ends under to ensure even thickness.
Folding the thin ends prevents overcooking.
Season the fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lemon, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and honey until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a well-blended sauce.
Pour the sauce evenly over the fillets in the dish.
Make sure each fillet is well coated with the sauce.
Sprinkle the fillets with smoked paprika for added flavor.
Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor to the dish.
Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving one corner open to vent.
Venting prevents the wrap from bursting during cooking.
Microwave the dish on high for about 5 minutes or until the fillets are cooked through at the thickest part.
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Serve the fillets hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or dill makes a great garnish.
