Filet and Dijon Mustard Sauce

Grilled or pan fried fish with honey mustard sauce is a quick and easy meal to die for. It is an elegant meal that one can find in a small country inn served by a fireplace. It is a totally romantic meal!

Ingredients:
Two 6 oz tilapia fillets
Sauce:
3 tbs honey mustard
1 tsp honey
1 tsp brown sugar
3 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbs white wine
1 tbs cream horseradish
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Others:
1 tsp oil and butter for each fillet
1 white onion slice
Steamed broccoli or cabbage

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. Marinate the fillets in the sauce for 1 hour.
Remove the fillets and save the marinade for glaze. In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Place fish and grill 3 minutes on each side. Cook the marinade until thickened and brush both sides of the fillets.
To serve the fillets with caramelized onions:
Melt 1 tbs of butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat until foaming. Add 2 cups of halved and sliced paper thin onions. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and caramelized (about 30 minutes). Season well with salt and pepper.
