CREAMY LEMON BUTTER SAUCE FOR FISH AND SEAFOOD

Steps:

• In small saucepan, heat wine and shallot. Bring to a boil and reduce over medium-high heat until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain.

• Whisk in cream and lemon juice. Keep warm in the top of a double boiler set over hot water until serving time.

FISH WITH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat cod fillets dry of excess moisture with paper towels and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a 12-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• Place cod fillets in the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side.
• Carefully flip the cod fillets to the other side and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Time may vary, depending on the thickness of your fillets.Note: Be gentle flipping, especially if using super fresh fish, as the fillets are quite delicate.
• Once fillets are done, carefully remove with a spatula, transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
• Pour in heavy cream, broth and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
• Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced/thickened and coats the back of a spoon when you draw your finger through it. Taste for seasoning and add more, if necessary, to taste.
• Once sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in dill, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• Pour sauce over fish and serve with lemon wedges (if desired). Enjoy!
