Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate the flavors evenly.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped parsley, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

Place your fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, halibut, or tilapia) into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour to prevent the lemon juice from "cooking" the fish.

Step 6

Remove the fish from the marinade before cooking. Discard any remaining marinade and prepare your fish as desired (grilling, baking, or pan-searing).
