Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, salmon, or tilapia)
- 0.5 cup Apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 3
Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, chopped mint, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and water. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is well combined and slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).

Brush or spoon half of the apricot-mint sauce over the fish fillets, reserving the rest for serving.
Step 6
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the fish with the reserved apricot-mint sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired.
Step 9
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
