How to Make Glazed Fish Fillets

For an easy and healthy alternative to standard fried fish fillets, try making this glazed fish fillets recipe at home. Most of the ingredients needed are things you are likely to have already available in your own kitchen. Follow a few simple steps and these glazed fish fillets should be ready in about 20 minutes and serve 4 to 6 people.

Things You'll Need

• Broiler pan
• Small bowl
• Whisk
• 1 lb. tilapia fillets
• 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
• ½ cup plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 tbsp. horseradish
• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

1. Purchase fresh fillets from the fish counter at your local grocery store. Ask the butcher to slice the fillets thinly, about ½-inch in thickness. If the fillets are already packaged, pick the appropriate size or ask a store attendant for help. Alhough tilapia is the best fish for this recipe, you use your favorite fish or whatever is freshest when you shop.

2. Melt the butter and whisk it together with the lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, yogurt and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Continue mixing it until it has taken on a uniform color and consistency. This mixture will be used to coat the glazed fish fillets.

3. Lay the fish fillets on the broiler pan. Cover the fillets with a thin layer of the glaze. Flip each fillet over to be sure it is coated on both sides, adding salt and pepper if you desire.

4. Place the broiler pan in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes on the broil setting. You will be able to tell when the glazed fish fillets are done by testing it with a fork. If the skin of the fillets flakes off easily, they are done.

5. Serve on a bulky roll as a sandwich or as an entrée with a side dish such as rice or potatoes. You can also eat glazed fish fillets on top of a romaine or spinach salad as a healthy alternative for those on a diet.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do not have Dijon mustard, use any type of mustard, including the standard yellow mustard.
