Honey Sauce for Fish

Recipe for a sauce that goes well with any type of fish. I made this sauce for boiled pike, and it turned out fantastic! The sauce has a rich, flavorful taste and aroma. Serve the sauce hot, highly recommended!

Fish Broth

1 cup

Honey

2 tbsp

Lemon

1 pc

Soy Sauce

2 tbsp

Nutmeg

a pinch

Ginger

1 tsp (grated finely)

Bay Leaves

2-3 leaves

Butter

3.5 tbsp

Cornstarch

2 tbsp

Parsley

or dill for serving

To prepare the honey sauce for fish, grate the zest of one lemon and squeeze the juice. Melt butter in a saucepan, add honey, lemon zest and juice, nutmeg, ginger, bay leaves, soy sauce, and ½ cup of fish broth (from cooking the fish). Bring to a boil.

In the remaining fish broth (1/2 cup), dissolve cornstarch. While stirring, pour the starch into the sauce and simmer until thickened (about 1 minute).

If you want a thicker sauce, use 4 tsp of cornstarch.
