German Fish With Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place water, lemon, onions, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns in a deept skillet and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Add fish in a single layer.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
• Save the cooking liquid for the sauce.
• Place fish on a warm platter.
• To make the mustard sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan.
• Add flour, a little at a time, stirring well.
• Stir in liquid from fish.
• Add mustard, salt and sugar. Stir well.
• Remove from heat, add 1 tablespoon of the cream or milk. Sauce should be smooth and creamy. If sauce is too thick, add more cream or milk.

Steps:

• 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.
