Drizzle this heavy lemon sauce over your cooked fish fillets for a luxurious and tangy finish. The rich creaminess combined with the bright lemon flavors makes it perfect for enhancing the delicate taste of white fish such as cod, tilapia, or halibut.
Ingredients
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/4 cup chicken or fish broth
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon capers (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Sauté Garlic: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add Liquids: Pour in the fresh lemon juice, white wine (if using), and broth. Stir well to combine.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Add Heavy Cream: Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Add Capers and Zest: Stir in the capers (if using) and lemon zest. Continue to simmer for another 2 minutes.
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste.
Finish with Parsley: Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
