 SEA BASS WITH BACON CREAM SAUCE

This is a restaurant-quality, flavorful fish dinner! I had used this sauce with chicken, although in a larger quantity, and knew I needed to find another use for it, as it was so good.  

This recipe did not disappoint!  My husband loved it! In hindsight I prefer to use an egg wash (as written) to help the breading stick better.  If you find the sauce has thickened too much, add a little more water.

 

4 fish fillets

1 cup diced onions, cooked

  (optional)

4 slices bacon

1 egg

Olive oil for frying

Breading:

1/4 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR (60 mL)

1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)

1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)

1 tsp minced garlic (5 mL)

1/2 cup chicken stock (125 mL)

1/2 cup water, OR more chicken stock (125 mL)

1/3 cup heavy cream (75 mL)

1 tsp lemon juice (5 mL)

Green onions for garnish, optional

 

Pat fish fillets dry. 

In nonstick frying pan, cook bacon.  Set aside and when cool, cut into bits. In same pan cook onions, if using. 

Breading:  In small bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, page, OR alternative, OR Keto Bake Mix, Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper.  In small bowl whisk egg.  

Creamy Bacon Sauce:  In nonstick frying pan in butter, stir fry garlic 1 minute.  Stir in chicken stock, water, OR more chicken stock, heavy cream and lemon juice.  Bring to the boil and lower heat, simmering about 2 minutes.  Stir in bacon, reserving some for garnish.  Set aside.
