Tangy and creamy at the same time, this mustard sauce covered cod gets baked in a dill mustard sauce that's perfect to dip your potatoes in as well.
Preheat oven on conventional setting to 425 F or 220 C.
Season Fish
Rinse and pat dry the fish, then sprinkle on the lemon juice and worcestershire sauce. Add salt, pepper and paprika to both sides of the fish. Set aside for adding into the simmer sauce later.
