A delightful and easy-to-make fish dish with a tangy Dijon crust, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
Ensure the fillets are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, juice from the lemon, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Use the back of the spoon to spread the mixture smoothly.
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and paprika, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fish.
For extra crunch, lightly toast the breadcrumbs before using.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish for doneness by gently pressing with a fork; it should separate easily.
Serve the fish immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
