I had spied a chicken recipe quite a while ago which I had kept in my mind for a rainy day but knew that the ingredients were exactly the flavours I was looking for to compliment the fish fillets.
Sweet from the honey and spicy from the subtle mix of mustard, coriander and chilli made for a wonderful flavour combination. Not an overly heavy thick sauce either to smoother the meal rather a light jus which complimented and topped off the whole meal.
And another added bonus was the quickness in which this meal came together - a brilliant weeknight wonder with dinner on the table in around 30 minutes.
