Shrimp Bisque Sauce

Lemon Basmati Rice

Method

Sable Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Season and Sear the Fish

    Season the BC sable fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.

    Make the Bisque

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and fish stock, bringing to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, then blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Heat through and adjust seasoning if necessary.
