  • 2 (8 oz.) Pieces of fresh fish (salmon, swordfish, tuna, striped bass, bluefish, or sea scallops) pan seared with salt and pepper

Lemon Herb Butter Sauce:

  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 6 whole Black Peppercorns
  • 1 Lemon wedge
  • 3 oz. White Wine
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/3 lb. Butter
  • pinch Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh tarragon chopped
