Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) Chilean sea bass fillets
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
- Fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Substitution Ideas:
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce is gluten-free.
- Swap honey for maple syrup if you prefer a different type of sweetness.
- Replace Chilean sea bass with halibut or cod for a more accessible alternative
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by patting the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 2: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic. Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined to create a smooth glaze.
Step 3: Place the seasoned sea bass fillets in the slow cooker. Pour the Honey Dijon Glaze evenly over the top of the fillets, ensuring that each one is fully coated.
Step 4: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 2-3 hours. The fish is ready when it easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 5: Once cooked, carefully remove the fillets from the slow cooker and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs like dill or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Always use fresh sea bass for the best results, but if frozen is your only option, make sure to thaw it properly before cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by reducing or increasing the honey to match your preference.
- For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the glaze for a hint of warmth and complexity.
