Adventures in Seafood

After spending the last couple of weeks on a couple different beach vacations, I was inspired to try a little seafood myself. Here are a couple of recipes I tried that were really good!

This is Barefoot Contessa's Mustard Roasted Fish. It was super easy and very moist. I got the creme fraiche at Trader Joe's. It's the only place I've seen it. I used Tilapia, though I'm sure you could use your favorite fish and it would be equally as tasty! My friend Paul, who came over to eat dinner with us, said he could have used the sauce as a salad dressing. You could have given me a glass to drink it, personally! :)

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.
