Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the baby potatoes and asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, and spread them in a single layer. Start roasting in the oven for 10 minutes while preparing the fish.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, and place them on a separate lightly greased baking sheet.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and juice from half a lemon.
Remove the vegetable tray briefly and place the fish tray in the oven alongside the vegetables. Continue roasting both trays for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and golden.
While the fish and vegetables cook, prepare the white wine sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce by about half, which should take 4-5 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 2 minutes, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth texture.
Stir in chopped dill and grated parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt to taste, and keep the sauce warm on low heat.
Once the fish and vegetables are done, remove them from the oven. Plate each fillet alongside a portion of roasted asparagus and potatoes.
Generously drizzle the creamy white wine sauce over the fish, and garnish with an additional sprig of dill if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Fish Dreams' meal!
