Saffron Cream Sauce for Fish image

Categories     Fish     Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pinches Saffron
1/2 cup White Wine (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc)
3 tablespoons Canola Oil (or Olive Oil)
1/2 cup Finely Minced Shallots
1 sprig Thyme
8 ounces Claim Juice (bottle)
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 dash Kosher Salt to taste
1 splash Lemon Juice to taste

Steps:

  • Crumble the saffron, add it to the wine let steep until the saffron begins to color the wine, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine, saffron and thyme, if using. Bring to a boil and cook until the skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
  • Taste, and remove the thyme before it becomes strong.
  • Add the clam juice; bring to a boil and cook until reduced by about half, about 6 minutes. The flavor should be assertive at this point since the cream will mellow the intensity.
  • Pour the mixture through a strainer into a bowl or glass measure, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the skillet.
  • Add the cream, bring to a boil and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and is the desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a squeeze of lemon juice, if needed.
  • Keep warm until serving.
