Ingredients
- 600 ml milk
- ½ onion
- salt and black pepper
- 4 x 150 g fillets blue eye trevalla, skin removed (or other firm, white fleshed fish fillets)
- ¾ cup white wine
- 50 g butter
- 1½ tbsp plain flour
- ½ cup finely shredded flat-leaf parsley
- lemon wedges, to serve
Buttered new potatoes
- 400 g new potatoes
- 25 g butter
- salt
Instructions
- Place the new potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Add the potatoes to the butter and fry for about 4 minutes until lightly browned and coated in the butter. Season with salt.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and onion and bring to a simmer. Season with a little salt, add the fish fillets and simmer over low heat for about 6 minutes, or until the fillets are just barely cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate and cover while you make the sauce.
- In a small saucepan bring the wine to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Tip the wine out of the saucepan into a bowl, then return the saucepan to the heat. Melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, then add the reduced wine, stirring to a thick roux. Gradually add the warmed milk, stirring to a smooth sauce. Season well with salt and pepper and stir through the parsley.
- Serve the fish with the sauce poured over the top, with a few buttery new potatoes and a wedge of lemon.
