Creamy fish sauce made from cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make creamy sauce for fish? Prepare your food. You can use any cream. Since the sauce contains butter, I wouldn’t recommend it at all, it will be very high in calories. 10 or 20% fat content is most suitable. I have ground black pepper and sweet paprika. I didn't use any greens, but you can use any fresh or dried ones. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon. If you wish, you can remove a little zest.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, melt the butter on the stove. This must be done over low heat in a thick-bottomed container, otherwise the oil may burn. Do not bring to a boil; as soon as almost all the butter has melted, remove from the heat, the remainder will melt from the heat on its own. You can melt the butter in the microwave.

3. STEP 3

   

   Fry the flour in a dry frying pan until creamy. Again, watch carefully as it may burn quickly. Choose thick pans and stir the flour constantly. The longer the flour is toasted, the more pronounced the flavor of the sauce will be.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add flour to melted butter, stir. Place on low heat. Pour in the cream in a thin stream, stirring vigorously with a whisk. Keep on fire for a couple of minutes. Don't forget to stir the contents with a whisk. The sauce will begin to thicken noticeably. From this moment on, do not leave the stove and actively work with the whisk. Boil the sauce until thick.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the sauce reaches the consistency you want, pour in the squeezed lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir and remove from heat. The sauce will become even thicker as it cools, so keep this in mind. You can serve it straight like this, hot. Or refrigerate - whichever you prefer.
