Lemon Sauce (For Fish) image

I made this lemon sauce a few days ago for some halibut I pan fried. I thought it came out pretty tasty, so I thought I'd share.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head garlic (approx 9 cloves)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • When I originally wrote this recipe, I really didn't think about the garlic much. I was using peeled garlic. If you use a head of garlic, do yourself a favor: Cut the head in half across the grain, and either use a garlic roaster, or wrap the head in foil tightly and bake for an hour at 250; That will loosen the cloves, and roasting will impart more flavor. Just squeeze each clove into the pan. OR (original instruction) mince the garlic until it's very fine.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan.
  • Add the minced garlic. brown the mixture.
  • Add the flour and whisk to form a roux.
  • Add the lemon juice and milk. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth.
  • Hey! you're done! Pour a bit over your fish and enjoy!
