In this dish, fresh cod fillets are baked until just flaky, then served with a luscious mustard sauce made from Dijon mustard, crème fraîche, and fresh herbs. The combination is light, slightly tangy, and perfectly balanced, showcasing the delicate flavor of the fish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the cod:

  • 4 (6-ounce) fresh cod fillets

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the mustard sauce:

  • ½ cup crème fraîche (or substitute with sour cream)

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish large enough to hold the cod fillets in a single layer.

Step 2: Season and bake the cod

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the fillets in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 3: Prepare the mustard sauce

While the cod is baking, whisk together crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, chopped herbs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble and serve

When the cod is done, transfer it to serving plates. Spoon the mustard sauce over each piece or serve it on the side. Garnish with extra chopped herbs if desired.
