Oven Roasted Fish with a Maple Glaze

Mains / Christmas / Fish and Seafood / Winter

baked fish
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
4-6 portions

Ingredients

  • 1 (1.5kg) side of brill (skin on), pin-boned (you can ask the fish monger to do this for you)

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (preferably golden colour for its delicate flavour)

  • 150g mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 2 ½ tsp ground cumin

  • 2 ½ tsp ground coriander

  • Handful of dill sprigs

  • Lemon wedges, to serve

  • Salt and pepper, to season

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 250°. Grease a large oven tray big enough to fit the fish and line with baking paper. Place fish skin-side down in the tray and season liberally with salt and pepper.

  2. Place maple syrup, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic and spices in a small bowl. Season to taste and stir to combine. Spread half of the mixture evenly over the fish and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  3. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large platter, top with the fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges and the rest of the mustard and mayonnaise mixture.

  4. Chef’s tip

    We used plaice but halibut, brill, turbot or sole would also work well.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
