Haddock with White Wine and Roasted Garlic Sauce

Haddock with White Wine and Roasted Garlic Sauce

2 Fillets of Haddock
salt and pepper
olive oil
2-4 pcs of Shallot or 1 whole white onion
3 cloves of garlic
2 cups of white wine
Dried Rosemary
A twig of fresh rosemary
3 knobs of butter

First, chop the shallots or white onion and saute half of it in olive oil for 1 minute. Add the twig of rosemary and white wine. Reduce it till it's gone down to half. While it's simmering, roast garlic with olive oil.

While the sauce is simmering and garlic is roasting, proceed with grilling or pan frying the haddock. Season haddock with salt and pepper. I always find haddock a bit bland so what i do is i pan fry or grill it in flavoured oil by adding herbs or onions. In a pan, add the rest of the remaining of the chopped onion or shallots and dried rosemary. Saute till you can smell the rosemary which is like 30 seconds. Anyway, pan fry haddock. 2 minutes on each side. Careful when flipping to avoid breaking the fish.

While pan frying the fish, go back to the sauce. Use a garlic crusher to crush garlic into the wine mixture. Stir.

It's time to flip the fish...

then back to the sauce... turn off heat and add 3 knobs of butter onto the sauce and mix it with an electric hand mixer until butter and sauce is completely mixed. Strain the sauce before serving it.

On a warm plate, put mash if you want or buttered asparagus.. I prefer mash. Then place the fish and drizzle the fish with the white wine and roasted garlic sauce.
