This sauce is perfect on almost any fish … salmon, halibut, or turbot.* Add freshly grated ginger for more zing or use reduced sodium soy sauce instead of salt!

Maple syrup

¼ cup(s)

Chives

2 tbsp(s), minced

Dijon mustard

2 tsp(s)

Table salt

½ tsp(s), divided

Light butter

1½ tbsp(s), unsalted

Uncooked Atlantic cod

16 oz

Lemon

2 medium, thinly sliced for use as a garnish

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es)

Instructions

  1. Combine maple syrup, chives, mustard, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper in a small sauce-pan and boil for about 1 to 2 minutes until sauce begins to thicken. Set aside.
  2. Rub fish with ¼ tsp salt. Heat skillet over a medium heat and melt butter. Add fish and cook for about 5 minutes until moisture appears on the top of the fish.
