Preparation

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp butter to skillet and cook until fish is browned. Turn and cook 2 minutes more or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet, and keep warm.

Add wine to skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook for 3 minutes or until reduced by half.

Add lemon juice, and cook for 30 seconds. Add cream, return to a boil, and whisk in remaining 7 Tbsp butter until combined.

Serve Sauce over fish.

(I didn't measure the lemon juice and used a whole lemon and it was to much.)

The page suggested to serve it with Spinach and Tomato Pasta - it was good.
