Dijon harkens back to middle ages, first appearing at the table of King Philip VI. It didn't get popular, though, until the 19th century when a guy living in, you guessed It, Dijon, replaced vinegar with "verjuice" -unripe grape's acidic juice. That "unripe grape acidic juice" brings its strong flavor to this tilapia, both in coating and in sauce. The deliciousness is rounded out by a ratatouille on the side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Citrus Dijon Sauce

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1" dice.

    Trim zucchini ends, quarter, and cut into 1" dice.

    In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine mayonnaise, vinaigrette, 2 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

    Pat tilapia dry. Halve fillets lengthwise and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ratatouille

    In another mixing bowl, thoroughly combine eggplant spread, tomato paste, 2 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt.

    Add red bell pepper, zucchini, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to bowl and stir until vegetables are coated.

    Transfer vegetables and any remaining sauce in bowl to prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.

  3. 3

    Roast the Ratatouille

    Roast ratatouille in hot oven until tender and edges begin to brown, 12-14 minutes, rotating baking sheet 180 degrees in oven halfway through. Baking sheet will be hot! Use an oven mitt.

    While ratatouille roasts, prepare fish.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fish

    Spread Djion mustard evenly on one side of tilapia. Top mustard evenly with panko, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Cook Fish and Finish Dish

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Once oil is hot, add tilapia to pan, panko side down. Cook until panko is golden brown and tilapia reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.
