dill fish sauce

2019-10-31

This is another sauce that you probably won't find in any other cookbook. It is a fish velouté with a hint of tomato, and more than just a hint of the fish. I blended part of the fish into the sauce, similar to crawfish étouffée, but also many differences.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. white fish
    I used tilapia fillets
  • 2 cups seafood stock
    if not available, water & shrimp bouillon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • S&P
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1 tbsp. dill
  • 1/2 tbsp. tomato powder
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

This 'fresh, never frozen' tilapia fillets are so much nicer than the frozen stuff. I actually like these, none of that unpleasant by- flavor that tilapia so often has.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

  • 2-3 fresh tilapia fillets
  • S&P
  • new harvest potatoes
  • dill sauce
