Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 200 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fish stock or chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the fish stock (or chicken stock), ensuring no lumps form. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the shrimp sauce over the top, and simmer for 2 minutes to warm everything through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
