Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 4-6 (8 oz) white firm fish fillets such as red or yellow-tail snapper, branzino, striped bass, or tilapia skin-on or skinless
- 1 cup (8 oz) crème fraîche
- 3 Tbsps Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 2 Tbsp shallots, minced
- 3-4 tsp capers, drained
- Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper or use a large baking dish. If the fish has the skin-on, place the fish fillets flesh side up on the sheet pan. Sprinkle the fish with salt and ground black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, Dijon, whole-grain mustard, minced shallots, capers, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Completely cover the fish with a thin coating of the mustard mixture. Bake for 15-25 minutes or more depending on the thickness of the fish. The fish will flake in the thickest part when cooked. Be careful not to overcook! (This recipe is modified and adapted from The Barefoot Contessa).
