Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Fish stock (or chicken stock)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and fish stock while whisking to ensure a smooth consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Dijon mustard and wasabi paste until fully incorporated.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and white pepper (if using), and stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more wasabi for extra heat or lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or drizzle directly over your cooked seafood of choice.
Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
