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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the heavy cream and fish stock while whisking to ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Dijon mustard and wasabi paste until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and white pepper (if using), and stir well to combine.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more wasabi for extra heat or lemon juice for extra tanginess.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or drizzle directly over your cooked seafood of choice.

Step 11

Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
