 Have
you ever seen a picture of a great looking meal in a magazine
or eaten something wonderful in a fine restaurant and thought,
"I wish I could make this at home"? Many of our
recipes are conceived in exactly this way. One of our favorite
recipes in this month’s collection, ‘Pancetta
Layered Halibut with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce’, was
an idea brewing in our heads for weeks and tested twice before
we got the desired result. The flavors in this dish perfectly
compliment each other and all come together with a delectable
sauce.
Having a few great sauce recipes in your
pocket is a sure-fire way to dress up almost any fish recipe.
We find fish greatly enhanced when topped with a sauce. The
mild flavor of most fish can easily be influenced by the flavor
nuances of other ingredients. Also, the soft texture of most
cooked fish when combined with a sauce, seems to melt in your
mouth.
There are numerous toppings other than sauces
that are spectacular on fish including flavored butters, flavored
mayonnaise and salsas. Besides being delicious, all of these
toppings can be prepared ahead of time and added while baking,
broiling, grilling or after the fish has been cooked; simple
and delicious!
For an easy and elegant cream sauce for
baked white fish, try our ‘Universal Cream Sauce’.
This is a ‘can’t miss’ sauce that takes only
minutes to prepare.
Universal Cream Sauce
Makes about 1-1/2 cup sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream
- 1 tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 Tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- Tarragon sprigs for garnish
Add the cream to a skillet and bring to
a simmer. Add the tomatoes, gorgonzola and chopped tarragon
to the cream. Let simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens.
Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper.
*Make sure you simmer at a low temperature
so the cream does not separate.
