Beurre blanc, or white butter, is a classic French sauce made by gradually whisking cold butter into a wine reduction.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 lb fish fillets, (halibut, catfish, tilapia)
- 30 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 350 g)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Champagne beurre blanc
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cup dry sparkling wine
- 3 tbsp champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 tbsp minced fresh tarragon or chives
Preparation
Champagne Beurre Blanc: In small saucepan, boil shallot, wine, vinegar and pepper until reduced to 2 tbsp (25 mL), about 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Being careful not to boil, whisk in 1 cube of butter at a time just until each is melted. Cover and set aside. (Make-ahead: Set aside for up to 1 hour. Use at room temperature or rewarm in bowl over saucepan of hot water, whisking often.)
Sprinkle fish and shrimp with salt and pepper. In large nonstick skillet, heat one-third of the oil over medium-high heat; fry fish, in 2 batches, turning once and adding one-third more oil as necessary, until golden and fish flakes easily when tested, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in 250°F (120°C) oven.
In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; saute shrimp until pink, about 3 minutes.
Place fish on plates; top with shrimp. Stir tarragon into beurre blanc; spoon over shrimp and fish.
