This 10 minute Oven Baked Lemon and Mustard Fish is a firm family favourite. Only a few ingredients and minimal effort is required for this yummy meal that is perfect as a weekday dinner.
10 minute Oven Baked Lemon and Mustard Fish
This is dinner made super simple and it is ready and on the table in 10 - 15 minutes. Plus it is super healthy. The baked fish in this recipe becomes flaky, tender and juicy in the oven and the sauce is sooooo good.
The fish lets out a lot of water whilst cooking and depending on the type of fish used or whether or not the fish is fresh or frozen, it may give out even more. I recommend using small thin fillets here because you want the fish to really take on the flavour of the sauce. Thicker fish just won't work very well and your cooking time will need to be adapted.
How to serve it
You can serve the fish with salad, potatoes (mashed or baked) or rice. All of them are good.
Anyway, I promise you that you will love this dish. SO please try it!

Recipe Notes
This sauce is not intended to be thick and creamy. The sauce consistency will depend on fish used and whether your fish is fresh or frozen. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can drain the liquid into a pot after the fish has come out of the oven and heat it on the hob, to thicken.
I would not recommend using frozen fish fillets here because they do give off a lot more water.
You can use dairy milk instead in this recipe but as far as food combinations go, I wouldn't recommend it.
You could use cream instead but I would opt for a non dairy version!
