Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, salmon, or tilapia)
• 0.5 cup Apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, chopped mint, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and water. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is well combined and slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 5

Brush or spoon half of the apricot-mint sauce over the fish fillets, reserving the rest for serving.

Step 6

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the fish with the reserved apricot-mint sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired.

Step 9

Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
