Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 deg F.
Heat butter in small skillet on medium heat.
Add garlic and heat for 1 minute.
Add honey, worcestershire and mustard, cook for an additional minute.
Add lemon juice and allow to cool in refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick.Chop scallions and basil.
Cut fish into 2oz portions.Pinch a piece of foil so that it has four raised edges to trap the sauce.Arrange fish on oiled/greased aluminum foil.
Spread all of sauce mixture over top of each portion.Top sparingly with basil and scalions.
Sprinkle salt and pepper.Roast in oven for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of fish (15 minutes per inch thickness for fully cooked), or until desired. If using Ahi, I prefer to cook for 10 minites to allow inside to remain raw.
Pour excess baked sauce over fish.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Alsace Willm Pinot Gris Reserve. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.

An intense golden color with hints of ocher, the wine has a nose of ripe fruit, quince. In the mouth the attack is both supple and full, with notes of honey and spices. The final perfectly balances sugar and acidity.Pair this wine alongside pan-fried foie gras, grilled or roasted white meats (pork, veal), rabbit, poultry in cream sauce, smoked fish, mushroom dishes such as risotto.
