Kristen's Asian-Marinated Grilled Fish

This is my cousin, Kristen's, recipe.  My two year old son kept asking for more when we made this.

Ingredients:
*1/4 cup honey
*3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
*2 teaspoons finely minced orange zest
*2 cloves garlic, minced
*1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
*1 teaspoon dried basil
*2 Tablespoons soy sauce
*1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
*4 frozen fish fillets, thawed (tilapia, salmon, etc.)
*canola oil
*salt to taste
*black pepper to taste

Directions:
Whisk together honey, orange juice, zest, garlic, mustard, basil, soy sauce, and sesame oil.  Place the fish in the marinade, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Remove the marinated fish from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow to come to room temperature.  Shake off excess marinade, and discard marinade.  Blot the fillets dry with paper towels.  Coat with canola oil.  Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat the grill pan to medium-high.  Spray with cooking spray.  Place fillets on grill pan and cook for about 3 minutes.  Flip fillets over and cook for 3 more minutes until fish is flaky.
