Preparation method

How do you make this?

Start by reducing the cream to half its original volume.

Finely chop the shallot and add it along with the thyme and bay leaf to a saucepan with the white wine.

Place the pan over medium heat and let the white wine reduce completely. Then remove the thyme and bay leaf.

Add the fish stock and the reduced cream to the pan and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Season with pepper and salt. Taste and adjust if necessary.

Strain the sauce for a smooth result or blend the shallot finely for a more structured sauce.

Just before serving, add a few drops of lemon juice and whisk it into the sauce.

Serve the sauce immediately with your favorite fish dish or shellfish.
