Ingredients

4 (8-ounce) fish fillets such as red snapper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces creme fraiche
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons drained capers

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

Combine the creme fraiche, 2 mustards, shallots, 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. 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.

Great Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was excellent. I made no changes and as a side made the suggested Dill Fingerling Potatoes. GREAT! I had watched the... TV episode first and thought this would be great (and easy) for my dinner party. I was right, big success. Read more

quick easy and yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My Husband is not much of a fish eater but he couldn't stop eating the cod with the mustard sauce. It takes around 20 minutes... or less including prep time. Great week night dinner.Read more

Delicious, easy and easy to substitute
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this on the show and decided to make it with what I had in the fridge. It was still delicious! Used frozen/thawed... tilapia, regular yellow onion, and fat free greek yogurt in place of the creme fraiche. Didn't have capers but found that all the mustard provided enough flavor. I also threw chopped button mushrooms into the baking pan to add an extra veggie. It's great for a quick dinner because it was so easy. Read more

Another Ina Great!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this several times now, both for family and friends and, without exception, everyone loves it. I took former... reviewers advice and actually used NO salt (the capers seem to do the salt job), and it turned out perfectly every time. I don't think you need to limit this sauce to white fish; it would be equally appropriate for salmon or other non-white fish. For anyone afraid to cook fish, try this one; it's easy and delicious.Read more

fantastic fish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had some snapper that we had caught in the Gulf and this worked out fantastic with some roasted veggies. I heated up some... extra of the creme fr. sauce, and glazed the veggies. quick and yummy. my fillets did not have the skin so I put a light coat of evoo on the pan that I roasted them on so they would not stick. came out perfect. Thank you InaRead more

Ina NEVER Dissapoints
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have to say...I love Ina Garten. I know many of us are fans--but, I just love her! I stayed up until 1:00 am reading her... cookbooks last night. I have read them over and over again - love them. I made this recipe with the intent to use snapper...however, my husband was late coming home with the fish. So I used boneless chicken breast. It was more labor intensive than the fish because I pounded the chicken, then dredged in flour salt/pepper and lightly browned it in olive oil/butter. I also added 1 TBS of honey to the sauce. It was AWESOME. I thought that the honey would somehow go with the sauce hence -- honey/mustard is a classic but, it does work in this recipe as well. Once again Ina strikes gold with her easy, fast, terrific and obviously versitile recipes. Read more
