Fish mustard cream sauce

What you'll need

Ingredients

  • 4 (8-ounce) fish fillets such as red snapper, tilapia, or grouper

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 8 ounces creme fraiche (or sour cream)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots or finely chopped scallions (white and light green parts)
  • 2 teaspoons drained capers

The method

Directions

  1. 01

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper or use an ovenproof baking dish. Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. 02

    Combine the crème fraiche, mustards, shallots (or scallions), capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered.

  3. 03

    Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it's barely done. (The fish will flake easily at the thickest part when it's done.) Be sure not to overcook it! Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the top.
