Fish Fillets in Tomato Cream Sauce image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Fry onion in oil until soft.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Transfer the fish carefully with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, and keep warm in an oven.
  • Boil the sauce until reduced by half and thickened. (Hard to guess how long it will take).
  • Then stir in the cream, and again let it reduce over fairly high heat.
  • Taste the sauce in case you want to add something extra, like grated nutmeg.
  • Pour over the fish.
  • Serve with rice or mashed potatoes, young peas (or a sweetish veggie like butternut or pumpkin) and a green salad.
