- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Whisk until well blended.

Add the minced garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard into the mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
