Method 7 steps
In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together mustard, maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce to make marinade. Add fish fillets and stir to coat evenly. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, garlic powder, and thyme. Add potatoes, broccoli, onion, and bell pepper. Stir to coat.
Spread vegetable mixture on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through cooking.
In a medium-sized pot, heat cranberries, water, vinegar and sage. Simmer mixture for 10 minutes. Add raisins and cook for 5 more minutes. Mash lightly with a potato masher or fork. Remove from heat.
Heat a lightly-oiled cast iron pan on low heat for 10 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Brown fish skin-side down for 4 minutes or until crispy. Turn fish over and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness. Use a digital food thermometer to check that fish has reached an internal temperature of 70 °C (158 °F).
Garnish fish with relish and serve with baked vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.
