Trout with Herb Butter Sauce
- 1 small carrots
- 1 small celery stalks
- 1/2 each yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 large parsley leaves fresh
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 x court bouillon
- Peel the carrot and cut into thin slices.
- Cut celery and onion into thin slices.
- In a non-reactive pot, combine all of the ingredients; bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
- You should have about 3 cups.
- Court Bouillon can be made several days ahead, or it can be frozen.
- Bring Court Bouillon to a simmer.
- Put the fillets, skin side down, into the simmering liquid, lower heat, and poach gently until fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove fish from the liquid, peel off the skin, and cover to keep warm.
- Strain the Court Bouillon and put 1/4 cup into a small saucepan.
- Reserve remaining bouillon for another use.
- Add wine and vinegar to the saucepan and bring to a boil; boil about 3 minutes until liquid is reduced to 2 tbs.
- Over the lowest possible heat, whisk in the butter a bit at a time.
- The butter should soften to make a creamy sauce but should not melt completely.
- Stir in the chives, parsley, tarragon, and lemon juice.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the fish topped with the sauce.
