Baked Sea Bass with Shrimp Sauce Recipe

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on March 23, 2007

3 fillets of sea bass
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons dry white wine
1 cup small shrimp
Salt and pepper

Sauce
Put the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan. When melted and hot, add approximately 1 tablespoon flour. Stir with a wire whisk over a low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. This roux should be smooth and not lumpy. If it is lumpy, add a little more oil or flour, whichever it may require.

When smooth add 1 cup of warm milk, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 2 minutes. Add the dry white wine, blending it in well.

Fish
Place the fillet of sea bass in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the small shrimp. Cover the fish and shrimp with the sauce. Place in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
