Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 4 Fish Servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat (you can use the more expensive claw meat, but for this sauce I don't find it makes a difference)
1 cup shrimp, peeled, tails removed, and chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice (buy 1 lemon and cut in half, use 1/2 for the zest and lemon juice and the other half for a garnish)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon fresh dill
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt
pepper
lemon slice (use the other half that wasn't used in the sauce)
3 -4 cups rice, cooked (use any kind of rice you want)
3 scallions, fine chopped (white and green part)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from the lemon we used for the sauce)

Steps:

  • Optional Rice -- If you decide to serve this dish over the rice you should start the rice first as the fish and sauce don't take much time to make. Just follow package directions for whatever type of rice you are using. When the rice is finished cooking, toss in the lemon zest, fresh scallions and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the flour and just a little white wine and whisk well to combine the two. Then add the remaining white wine and bring to medium heat. Then add in the salt, pepper and cream and bring to a medium boil, cook just a minute and then reduce to medium low and let it simmer. The cream will naturally thicken as it simmers on low heat. You will add the shrimp and crab later. You want the sauce to simmer at least 5-7 minutes. This is just enough time to cook the fish.
  • Fish -- Make sure your fish is NOT icy cold; it doesn't have to be room temperature, but just not right out of the refrigerator. Season each side of the fish well with salt and pepper. In a medium saute pan, I prefer non stick for this, add the butter and oil and bring to medium high heat. Saute the fish on each side until golden brown. Try not to move the fish once you put it in the pan until the first side is golden brown. Cooking time will vary depending on the type of fish and thickness. Tilapia takes just 2-3 minutes on the first side and even quicker on the second side.
  • Sauce -- When you start the fish is a good time to add the shrimp and crab to your sauce. Bring the sauce back up to medium heat and add the shrimp. Cook just 1-2 minutes and then stir in the crab. Don't stir too much, you don't want to break up the crab. Add the lemon juice, zest, parsley and dill and then turn off the heat -- the sauce is done.
  • Serve -- For each plate, add 3/4-1 cup of the rice, top with one of the fish fillets and top with the sauce. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice. ENJOY!

SALMON FILETS WITH CREAMY, WHITE WINE/CRAB-MEAT SAUCE



Salmon Filets With Creamy, White Wine/Crab-Meat Sauce image

The other night after dinner, the conversation was something like this. "Did you just make up this recipe?".... "Yes, I did." Then, you should share it with your "recipe- people"....That is what you ZAARians are "recipe-people"....Served with your favourite dry white wine, this recipe can be adapted to any thick-fleshy fish fillet....remember to leave the fish skin on for the cooking process....Remember to use shallots in this recipe, not white or green onion...shallot flavour is more distinctive, and compliments the other ingredients, without being overpowering.

This seared salmon is nicely complemented by a creamy, lemony white wine mushroom sauce, flavored with thyme and dill weed. Lovely served with steamed asparagus and crusty bread to soak up extra sauce. Using light butter and fat free half and half in the sauce will yield great results and lower calories.

CREAMY WHITE WINE SAUCE AND ITALIAN CHICKEN OVER PASTA



Creamy White Wine Sauce and Italian Chicken over Pasta image

This is a super easy, ultra tasty recipe that calls for white wine, a packet of Italian dressing mix, chicken and pasta. Upon my first time making it, I already had leftover cooked chicken breast, so I made the sauce on the stovetop and let simmer for 20 minutes, chopped the chicken and added it to the sauce and served over pasta. I used 1-1/2 cups of white wine to yield a sauce that was a little more runny, but consistency is a matter of preference. I also used 2 freshly chopped roma tomatoes, rather than the sundried.

Provided by Thumbs

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -6 chicken breasts
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup white wine (Sauvignon Blanc works especially well due to the herbaceous character)
10 ounces cream of mushroom soup
4 ounces cream cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 finely chopped green onions
4 ounces dried Italian salad dressing mix
16 ounces pasta, linguine works very well
sun-dried tomatoes or 2 freshly chopped roma tomatoes
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt butter in large pot and stir in package of Italian salad dressing mix and garlic. Next stir in wine, mushroom soup and cream cheese until well-blended. Continue to heat (without boiling) mixture for about 5 minutes, sauce should be creamy and all cream cheese should be melted. Place chicken in single layer in baking dish and pour the above mixture over. Cover and cook for 50-55 minutes. Cook pasta about 15 minutes before chicken is done. Drain pasta and serve chicken and sauce over the linguine. Top with tomatoes, chives and parmesan cheese. Don't forget to save some of the white wine to complement dinner!

MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES IN A CREAMY WHITE WINE SAUCE



Mediterranean Vegetables in a Creamy White Wine Sauce image

This versatile dish is elegant and tastes sophisticated. Of course you can vary the vegetables- this is just what I usually have on hand. I like lots of sauce with this dish, but if you prefer less, you could reduce the white wine and cream slightly. For a vegetarian version, simply use a vegetable stock cube instead of a chicken one.
