Balsamic Butter Sauce

By

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 ono or tilapia fillets

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, over medium heat, simmer the vinegar and the garlic. Simmer until reduced to a thick syrup, about 5 minutes. Set aside while the rest of the meal is being finished.

When ready to serve the sauce, rewarm over medium-low heat. Cut a stick of butter into 6-8 pieces and add to the balsamic reduction one piece at a time. Whisk until all butter is incorporated and sauce is smooth again. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
