Remarks
You can, of course, use fish fillets other than whiting, depending on the season and location.
If you have old-fashioned mustard, use it instead of classic mustard, as the seeds add a little extra texture.
You can also add a dash of Espelette pepper to the mustard, to enhance the taste a little.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

Everything, except whipped cream, can be made beforehand. May 28th 2012341 K5 3 hours 9 min.
