  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Drizzle a little oil in the bottom of a baking dish and lay the fish on top.
  3. Whisk together the sauce in a small bowl.  When you add the mustard and the lime to the cream it will thicken.  Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  4. Spread the sauce thickly over the fish.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, and then put the dish under the broiler until it's slightly browned and bubbling.
  6. Sprinkle a few more chives across the top.
