Ingredients
  • 4 skin-on mild white-fleshed fish fillets such as black rockfish or Alaskan red snapper (6 to 8 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 medium shallots
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons capers
  • 8 ounces creme fraiche
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or have a baking dish ready that is large enough to hold the fish in a single layer (the fillets can overlap slightly).
  3. Season the fillets lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Place them skin side down on the sheet (or in the dish).
  4. Mince the shallots (to yield 2 tablespoons) and drain the capers (to taste); place both in a medium bowl, then add the creme fraiche, the water, both of the mustards, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, stirring to combine.
  5. Spoon the sauce over the fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until it is just barely cooked through.
  7. Serve hot or at room temperature, with sauce from the pan (or dish) spooned over the top.

Oh Dave hon - what a delight! I think fish and mustard pairs so nicely - then add that creme fraiche and the capers...and it sounds oh-so fantastic. I always love your recipes and this one is no exception. Thanks so much - high 5 and a beauty flag for you, too. Yumm. ;)


My Dad use to make something like this, no creme fraiche though...seventies! Another great 5! Mare
