Fish Fillets in Tomato Cream Sauce

Recipe #302073 | 40 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Zurie

Don't know what to do with white fish? Try this recipe! I'm a great believer in cream, booze and butter for good cooking. Just ask the French! This is one of the recipes I developed years ago for a weekly food column in a Sunday paper. I've just discovered the stack of cuttings in a file, and I intend posting the most appropriate to Zaar — a good place, I hope, to save them.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • oil (for frying, or use butter)
  • 14 ounces tomato, chopped (400 g. Fresh tomatoes can also be used)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (125 ml)
  • tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
  • teaspoon sugar
  • teaspoon salt (preferably a seasoning salt)
  • lbs fish fillet, any kind (1 kg, which is just over 2 lbs)
  • cup fresh cream (250 ml)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Fry onion in oil until soft.
    2. 2
      Stir in the tomatoes, wine, parsley, pepper, sugar and seasoning salt. (There are many seasoned salts: I like one we get, which has finely ground coriander, herbs and a touch of dried pepper flakes in it).
    3. 3
      Bring to a boil, stir, and add the fish fillets -- in batches if your saucepan is small. Simmer the fish no longer than 7 minutes -- less if they are quite thin.
    4. 4
      Transfer the fish carefully with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, and keep warm in an oven.
    5. 5
      Boil the sauce until reduced by half and thickened. (Hard to guess how long it will take).
    6. 6
      Then stir in the cream, and again let it reduce over fairly high heat.
    7. 7
      Taste the sauce in case you want to add something extra, like grated nutmeg.
    8. 8
      Pour over the fish.
    9. 9
      Serve with rice or mashed potatoes, young peas (or a sweetish veggie like butternut or pumpkin) and a green salad.
