Shallow fried fish with chive sauce

I don’t think this photo does it justice because I literally took it as everyone had finished their meals, but this recipe - especially the sauce - is soooo easy and good. Dip white fish in flour, salt and pepper and shallow fry until firm / lightly crispy Make the sauce: Sauce: White wine  Fish stock Cream - equal amounts of all three Add to taste: Dill Chives - a good amount Salt Pepper Serve with rice or boiled potatoes

This is a regular in the Swedish side of my household that I have not written out ever but was reminded again this week what an easy and flavorful addition this can be to weekly dinners. Cut up salmon / tuna into cubes Cut up preferred vegetables into cubes (same amount as the fish) - zucchini is a great vegetable to use for this but you can also use string beans, broccoli, celery etc as you prefer. I don’t like carrot for this stew - too sweet. Add both to a pan with minimal oil and fry for 3 minutes / until the fish is firm.  Add crème fraiche and equivalent amount of water and stir. Add tarragon, salt, pepper, Swedish curry powder and any other spice of your preference.  Serve on top of boiled potatoes or rice. All in all, max 20 mins! And so delish.
