Directions
  1. Mince the onion (or shallots)
  2. Stem & wash the mushrooms, if using fresh, then coarsely chop.

  8. Cook 1 - 2 minutes, then add mushrooms
  9. Add cider ( or wine ) and the brandy
  10. Increase heat to medium, medium high so bubbles appear at edges
  11. Cover, cook 8- 10 minutes
  12. Carefully remove fish to deep serving dish and keep warm
  13. Leave liquid in skillet
  14. Increase heat to medium high, if needed, cook liquid uncovered 2 - 3 minutes to reduce sauce. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  15. If you are using the creme fraiche, remove the skillet from heat add dthe creme fraiche and butter and stir till mixed.
