Method

Mix together the mustard, crème fraîche and tarragon in a large bowl and season. Place the breadcrumbs and the flour in 2 more large bowls.
Dust the fish fillets in the flour, shaking off the excess. Spread the mustard crème fraîche over both sides of each fillet, then firmly press in the breadcrumbs. Lay on baking paper-lined plate and chill until needed.
Set 2 non-stick frying pans over a medium heat. Liberally cover the bottom of each pan with the oil. Once sizzling hot, add the crumbed fish and cook for about 2 minutes each side or until cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges and chips.
