Fish Fillets in Creamy Dill Sauce Recipe (+)

Directions

Salt and pepper the fillets. Heat butter in a skillet large enough to hold fish in a single layer. When pan is hot, add fillets and cook about 5 minutes, turn and cook until done. Allow about 10 minutes total cooking time for each inch of thickness.
Remove fillets to a warm platter or individual serving plates.( See TIP ) Add wine, zest and lemon juice to skillet, raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Add cream and dill and boil until sauce begins to thicken, 1 - 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and spoon sauce over fish. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.
TIP: An easy way to warm plates: put them in the microwave with a small container of water. Heat for 1 -2 minutes and leave in oven until needed. Heat from the water will warm the plates. Make sure plates are microwavable, though!
