Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fry the fish (soles, salmon slices, halibut, or plaice) until light brown. In a separate pan, brown an onion in a little oil. Add a cup of water, mushroom ketchup or powder, cayenne pepper, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the browned onion.
  2. Place the fried fish into a stew-pan with this mixture and simmer gently until cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.
  3. Thicken the gravy with a little browned flour, stirring well. Stir in a glass of port wine. If desired, add a few truffles or mushrooms for improvement.
  4. Return the fish to the pan or serve with the finished sauce poured over.
