Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 small Shallot (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the minced garlic and finely chopped shallot to the pan, stirring frequently. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to blend with the reduced wine.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir everything together until smooth.
Continue simmering the sauce gently for another 2-3 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite fish, such as salmon, cod, or trout. Enjoy!
