Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish

Rich sauce prepared from shallots cooked with white wine, butter and capers and seasoned with fresh chopped dill. It suits for any kind of fish whatever it is boiled, fried or grilled. Goes good with salmon (see Salmon with Capers and Dill Sauce recipe), cod, tilapia and other fish which you would usually serve with butter sauce of some kind. If you are trying to get more liquid sauce use more wine or add more shallots otherwise. If you don’t like texture of cooked onions – increase shallots frying time and cook them with wine longer. Ready sauce can be stored in the fridge, but it should be served warm, just make sure when you reheat it to remove sauce from burner before it starts boiling.

- Prepare ingredients: shallots I had this time were unusually small, so I’ve doubled amount of them just for this time; usually I use about 4 shallots which are bigger; as to wine, I use white dry chardonnay: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Photo: Step 1
- Peel and chop shallots finely: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish: Step 2
- Using sauce pan is more convenient here, but if you don’t have one get a small skillet. Warm the sauce pan up with 2 tbs of olive oil: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 3
- Fry shallots over medium heat till they become soft and slightly yellow in color (about 12-15 mins): Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 4
- Increase heat and add about 3 cups of dry white wine (I use Chardonnay): Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 5
- Bring sauce to boil and keep boiling for about 15 mins (about a cup of wine will evaporate till then): Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 6
- Reduce heat so sauce stops boiling completely; then start whisking butter in, spoon by spoon, until whole stick is added. Make sure sauce isn’t boiling, but keep it warm, so butter can melt (remove sauce pan from the burner when sauce is close to start bubbling and bring it back to the burner when sauce is too cold to melt butter): Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 7
- Drain and rinse capers, chop dill, add both to the sauce and season it with salt and ground black pepper: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 8
- Mix sauce and remove sauce pan from the burner: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Recipe: Step 9
- Pour warm wine sauce with butter, capers and dill over boiled or fried or grilled fish: Wine, Butter and Capers Sauce for Fish Photo: Step 10

Ingredients:
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives and tarragon
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to cook:
- In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the shallot and wine and boil over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. (To make the sauce with pan juices, discard the fat from the sauté skillet, add the reduced wine and boil for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits.) Off the heat, whisk in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time to make a thick sauce. Return the pan to the heat briefly to warm the sauce if necessary; do not boil. Add the herbs, season with salt and pepper and serve.

- Heat the wine, vinegar, and shallots in a saucepan until the liquid comes to a boil, then lower the heat a bit and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced down to about 2 tablespoons. This should take about 10 minutes.
- While the liquid reduces you can cut the butter into medium (1/2-inch) cubes, but either leave this until the reduction is nearly finished or return the butter cubes to the refrigerator to keep them cold while the liquid finishes reducing.
- Once the wine-vinegar mixture has reduced to 2 tablespoons, reduce the heat to low and start adding the cubes of butter, one or two at a time, and whisk rapidly with a wire whisk.
- As the butter melts and incorporates, add more butter and keep whisking. Continue until you only have two to three cubes remaining. Remove from heat while whisking in the last few cubes, and whisk for a few more moments. The finished sauce should be thick and smooth.
- Season to taste with kosher salt. Traditionally you would strain out the shallots before serving, but you do not have to do this. Serve it right away.
