  15. ## Step-by-Step Instructions
  16. ### 1. **Preheat the Broiler**
  17. - Set your oven to **broil** and adjust the rack to the **middle position**. This ensures even cooking without burning the fish.
  18. ### 2. **Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze**
  19. - In a small bowl, combine **Dijon mustard**, **honey**, **olive oil**, **lemon juice**, **minced garlic**, and **smoked paprika**. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Taste and adjust seasoning with **salt and pepper**.
  20. ### 3. **Prepare the Rockfish**
  21. - Pat the **rockfish fillets** dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the glaze adhere better and ensures a crispy exterior.
  22. - Place the fillets on a **broiler-safe baking sheet** lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  23. ### 4. **Apply the Glaze**
  24. - Brush the **honey mustard glaze** generously over the top of each rockfish fillet. Reserve a small amount of the glaze for basting during cooking.
  25. ### 5. **Broil the Rockfish**
  26. - Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil for **8-10 minutes**, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Halfway through, baste the fish with the remaining glaze to enhance the flavor and create a caramelized crust.
  27. ### 6. **Check for Doneness**
  28. - The rockfish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of **145°F (63°C)**. Be careful not to overcook, as rockfish can dry out quickly.
  29. ### 7. **Garnish and Serve**
  30. - Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for **2-3 minutes**. Garnish with **fresh parsley or dill** and a squeeze of **lemon juice** for a bright, fresh finish.

  36. ## Tips for Success
