Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, sole, or haddock)
• 1.5 cups dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 piece small shallot, finely chopped
• 1 piece carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 piece celery stalk, thinly sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots, sliced carrot, and sliced celery to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not browned.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together (about 2 minutes).

Step 5

Carefully place the seasoned fish fillets into the skillet, arranging them so they are not overlapping. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 6

Poach the fish for 8-10 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork. Carefully transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and let the wine mixture reduce slightly (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper, to taste.

Step 9

Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Drizzle the creamy wine sauce over the fish fillets and garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if using). Serve immediately.
