Poached Fish in Lemon Wine Sauce- Healthy

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup Chablis or other dry white wine
  • 1 Sunkist® lemon, juiced
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen sole, cod, or haddock fillets
  • ½ lb. mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. sliced green onion (scallion)
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • ½ Sunkist® lemon, grated peel
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg

Instructions: (Makes 4 servings)

  • In a 10-inch skillet, combine the water, wine, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add the frozen fish; simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet; reserve the poaching liquid.
  • Discard the bay leaf. Cut or break cooked fish into bite-size pieces.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms and green onion in the butter until just tender. Remove from heat; stir in flour. Cook a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually blend in the reserved poaching liquid. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened. Blend in half-and-half, poached fish, lemon peel, and nutmeg; heat.
  • Sprinkle with additional sliced green onion and chopped pimiento, if desired.
