I haven’t been cooking lately, because I have just been so busy with work and training for my half marathon. Now that I’m on vacation, I was finally able to cook last night. I didn’t look up any recipes because I wanted to be creative. I wanted to use the ingredients that I had on hand. My two main ingredients included Dijon mustard and soy sauce. After I looked in my spice cabinet, I pulled brown sugar to sweeten the mixture and rice wine vinegar. I really didn’t know how this was going to turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. I used the mixture on a package of frozen founder. I served the fish with jasmine rice and green beans. I was pretty proud of myself…it turned out really good. I tried to create a recipe below , if you want to try to make it at home. I would adjust the ingredients to match your personal taste. Bon Appétit!
Soy-Dijon Marinade
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

Whisk all of the ingredients together and adjust to taste. Use as a glaze or bake the fish in the entire mixture.
