Note
For best results, use fresh, firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia. If using frozen fish, thaw completely and pat very dry before cooking.
The "mustard or vegetable" ingredient likely refers to using mustard as a glaze or serving condiment, or potentially vegetable oil for frying if mustard is not preferred. Dijon mustard is recommended for a classic flavor profile.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
