Instructions

Fish

  • Season fish with garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Make sure your pan is hot.
  • Cook fish for 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  • Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate, leaving oil in the skillet for the sauce.
  • Tent with foil to keep warm.

Sauce

  • Leave the juices in the pan after searing your fish…that’s where all of the flavours are!
  • Melt butter in the pan in those juices and cook your garlic only about one minute to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add flour. (2 tablespoon if using evaporated milk, half and half cream or use just 1 tablespoon if using thick cream, whipping cream, heavy cream).
  • Cook, stirring, or about 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in wine until smooth.
  • Whisk Hondashi mixed in hot water. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add cream. Simmer for about 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Stir in Dijon, parsley and dill (or your favourite herbs such as basil, oregano, chives or thyme) and cook until sauce has thickened.
  • Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  • If desired, garnish with lemon wedges, to serve.

Notes

What Should I Serve with It?
  • Steamed vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, potatoes, asparagus, green beans or spinach, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
  • Mashed Potatoes, Rice or pasta.
  • A green salad or grain salad.
Try the Sauce with Chicken Too
This sauce would also be delicious over seared chicken breasts too. However, my suggestion is to swap out the dill with thyme or rosemary.
*Hondashi® is a Bonito fish-based seasoning for those who like to make the preparations even tastier, stimulating a balanced and flavorful diet. Hondashi® guarantees the authentic taste of fish to the preparations and can be used in the most varied recipes with fish, seafood, oriental recipes and fish-based broths, giving a delicious and full-bodied flavour!
