Ingredients

Fish fillets (red snapper) - 4 (8 oz each)

Creme fraiche - 8 oz

Dijon mustard - 3 tbl

Whole-grain mustard - 1 tbl

Capers - 2 tsp

Shallots - 1

Prep

Shallots - mince to yield 2 tbl

Capers - drain

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or 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, two mustards, shallots, capers, 1 tsp salt and 12 tsp 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 thickets 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.
