SAFFRON SAUCE FOR FISH - SPAIN
This is a sauce often used for fish. Spaniards eat a good amount of fish, so this sauce is pretty popular. When you cook fish, make this sauce, and add in the fish pan juices as the very last step of this recipe.

Steps:
- Dissolve the saffron in heated fish stock that uses white wine and a little vinegar.
- Make a roux with hlaf the butter (or 1/4 cup) and the flour. Moisten with the stock, adding stock until the consistency is just as thick as whipping cream.
- Soften the peppers with the garlic in the remaining butter over low heat. When they are soft, add this to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour in the cream, Madeira and lemon juice.
- Add juices from the fish you are cooking to use this sauce with, for maximum flavor and so as not to be wasteful!
HALIBUT FILLETS WITH CREAMY SAFFRON SAUCE
If your experience with saffron is that it fades into the background, you have not been cooking with real saffron. There is no easier way to remedy this than to stir it into an uncooked, yogurt-based sauce in which it plays a leading role. (A touch of mild Aleppo pepper is a fine addition, but a pinch of cayenne - just enough to give a suspicion of its presence - also does nicely.) I like this concoction, which takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, with halibut or other mild fish. The halibut can be lightly poached in butter (you don't need much!) or, if you prefer, steamed or baked with no fat, until just tender.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk yogurt together with salt, pepper, Aleppo pepper or cayenne, and shallot. Rub saffron between your fingers to crush it, then stir it into yogurt mixture. Let sit for about 20 minutes (or covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours). Just before serving, add juice, taste, and adjust seasoning.
- Sprinkle halibut with salt and Aleppo pepper or cayenne. Put butter in nonstick skillet large enough to hold halibut, and turn heat to medium. When the butter melts, add fish, and cook gently, turning once or twice, until a thin bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part, generally less than 10 minutes.
- Serve fish hot, warm, or at room temperature, with the sauce spooned over it.

SAFFRON SAUCE
Courtesy of my sister, who succeeded in replacing Sauce Hollondaise, which I absolutely don't like, with this fluffy and aromatic gem of a sauce. Goes wonderfully with green or white asparagus, breadsticks, or pretty much everything :).
