This is one of my favorite back pocket recipes. I love the combination of flavors. I love that I can whip the sauce up in under 2 minutes.

And I love that I can always find these ingredients in my pantry. You probably can too.

If you don’t like flounder, use another fish – salmon is amazing with this sauce. Don’t like fish? Substitute chicken.

The sauce is pretty versatile. Besides fish and chicken, I’ve used it on sandwiches, wraps, shrimp and even roasted potatoes.

It may be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to store it in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid – a mason jar, a recycled almond butter jar or the like.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flounder fillets
1 teaspoon olive or coconut oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Rinse flounder fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
3. Use oil to lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Lay the flounder on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together dijon mustard, honey thyme and lemon juice.
6. Brush the top of each fillet with the mustard thyme sauce.
7. Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for 8-12 minutes or until just cooked through. It will cook very fast.
8. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
