FISH IN LEMON SAUCE

Category: Fish and Seafood

1 lb. white-fleshed or oily fish fillets, skinned
seasoned flour
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp brown sugar
3/4 cup fish stock

Dust fillets in flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Add fillets and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until fish is opaque and beginning to flake when tested. Remove and keep warm.

Add pepper and scallions to frying pan, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water. Add juice, rind, sugar, stock, turmeric, salt and pepper, and cornstarch mixture to pan and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce boils and thickens. Pour over fish and serve. Serves 4
