Ingredients

Method

Heat the oven to 200 C (400 F) and line a tray with parchment.
Stir the mustard, yoghurt, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Dry the fish, brush the tray with oil and set the fillets on it.
Spread the topping over the fish.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes until opaque and flaking.
Rest briefly, then serve with new potatoes.

Tips

The yoghurt topping can look slightly curdled; that is normal. Check the thickest part: the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and you should follow your food-safety agency guidance on safe internal temperature.

Storage

Cool promptly, then refrigerate in a sealed container and eat within the period recommended by your local food-safety agency. Reheat gently until steaming hot, or serve cold in salads and sandwiches.
