Fish Filets With Lemon Caper Sauce Recipe

	Krumkake / All my dishes 2 years, 4 months ago This recipe isn't really about fish - it's about the sauce. I like my sauce rather tart, but you can adjust the lemon in this to whatever your "tart" taste-bud is. It can turn inexpensive rather bland fish into a tasty entree. Prep:30m Servings:4	Krumkake
	fish with the zing of capers and lemon

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

For fish preparation:

8 large mushrooms, sautéed in a little butter

4 mild white fish fillets, such as tilapia

1 tablespoon (or less) butter, for skillet

1 cup white wine

¼ teaspoon salt

dash of pepper

1 tablespoon capers

Sauce:

3 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon flour

2 egg yolks

½ cup half-and-half

¼ cup reserved liquid from fish prep skillet

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to your taste

lemon wedges for garnish

Directions

In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in some butter; remove them from the pan and place fish fillets in the pan with a bit more butter.

Add wine, salt, pepper and capers.

Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes (while fish is simmering, begin sauce preparation).

Remove fish to serving platter, top with sautéed mushrooms.

Keep fish warm (I put mine on a cookie sheet, cover it with foil, and keep warm in a 250 degree oven).

Cook remaining liquid in pan until it is reduced to ½ cup; strain and reserve ¼ cup for sauce (I like capers, so I do not strain my liquid - I just use it all and increase the flour in the sauce by about a 1/2 tablespoon).

For sauce, melt butter in a saucepan and stir in flour.

Simmer very gently for 3 minutes.

Stir together yolks and cream; add reserved liquid from skillet and stir into flour mixture.

Season to taste.

Add lemon juice.

Pour sauce over warm fish and mushrooms.

Garnish with lemon wedges

YUM, thanks for the post. This sounds perfect. I like TART, I love capers, this will be our next tilapia supper. Tilapia needs just this sauce for a boost in flavor.

This is the kind of recipe I am looking for, one that enchances the fish flavor not masks it.

Alrighty--I did it. This is wonderful, don't change a thing. The sauce is absolutely delish!
I served it with couscous. Monday may be my favorite day of the week now. hahahaha
