Best Cod With Mustard Cream Sauce Recipes

MUSTARD-ROASTED FISH

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.

BROILED COD WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Steam the celery root and the potatoes until they are tender. When they are cooked, mash them with a fork or potato masher, season them with salt and pepper and one tablespoon butter and keep them warm.
• Meanwhile, saute the carrot and leek in one tablespoon butter until they are soft. Add the fish stock and reduce to one-fourth of a cup. Stir in the remaining butter, cut in small pieces, and the mustard. The sauce can be finished while the next step is started or made beforehand and kept warm.
• Remove any bones from the cod. Brush the cod with the oil and season it with salt and pepper. Broil it about four inches from the heat on a sheet of foil and turn it once. It is done when the flesh is white and opaque (about eight minutes). Be careful not to over cook it.
• Put the cod on a serving platter and spoon the sauce over it. Sprinkle with taragon or parsley and serve.

BAKED COD AND POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat with nonstick spray. Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice in medium bowl to blend. Season mustard mixture with pepper.
• Toss potatoes in mustard mixture. Gently shake excess mustard mixture from potatoes before spreading potatoes in single layer on 3/4 of prepared baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are beginning to brown, about 13 minutes. Coat fish with remaining mustard mixture. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place fish alongside potatoes. Bake until fish is opaque in center and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes longer.
• Divide potatoes between 2 plates; sprinkle lightly with salt. Top potatoes with fish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve.
