Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (halibut, cod, or snapper)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 0.5 cup creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, creme fraiche, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill until well combined.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down (if applicable).
Using a spoon or spatula, generously spread the mustard sauce over the top of each fillet, ensuring the surface is fully covered.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the sauce-coated fillets to aid in browning.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the roasted fish hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired, alongside your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
