About 25–30 minutes total, including prep and cooking.
Is this recipe gluten-free?

What can I substitute for mustard if I don’t want to use it?
If you don’t want mustard, try a lemon-honey glaze (lemon juice + honey) or a simple olive oil-lemon dressing; or a yogurt-lemon glaze.
How should I season or customize the dish (herbs/spices)?
