Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound slender asparagus
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
4 fillets of St. Pierre (John Dory), sea bass or gray sole; total weight about 1 pound
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon water or fish stock
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally, then steam them about 2 minutes. Set aside, covered or wrapped in foil to keep them warm.
  • In a skillet large enough to hold the fish in a single layer, heat 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Before the foam subsides, add shallots. Saute until shallots become translucent.
  • Dry fish fillets on a paper towel, add them to skillet and cook over high heat about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, until they are barely cooked through. Do not overcook. Remove fish to a platter and cover to keep warm.
  • Add vinegar and honey to skillet and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, until liquid has reduced somewhat. Whisk in remaining butter and add water or stock and lemon juice. Cook briefly until sauce is syrupy.
  • Transfer fish to each of four plates, spoon about a tablespoon of sauce over each fillet and garnish with a few asparagus spears.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The honey and vinegar sauce really made the dish.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few adjustments to suit your own taste.

I would not recommend this recipe. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe was a disaster! The fish was overcooked and the sauce was too vinegary.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of honey next time.

The fish was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the fish for a shorter amount of time next time.
