White Fish in Parsley Sauce

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • White fish fillets
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2 Cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp Minced onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place fish fillets on top. Brush them with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in a sauce pan
  • Once melted, add the onion and cook until they are soft and translucent. Next, add the garlic and cook until fragrant
  • Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until the color starts to become very light golden brown
  • Add in the milk while whisking constantly until everything is combined. Heat over medium heat and continue to stir regularly.
  • Once you see steam from the milk and the sauce starts to thicken, add the parsley to finish it off
  • Place the fish fillets in the oven and cook for 4-6 minutes (best done as your sauce is finishing so the fish fillets don't dry out)
  • Taste the sauce and add any extra salt or pepper you would like
  • Serve with a side of rice or potatoes, and a vegetable
