Whiting Fish with Mushroom Sauce

Step 1

Rinse whiting fish and pat dry.

Step 2

Clean and halve or slice mushrooms, depending on size. Peel shallot and chop finely. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan and saute shallot and mushrooms for about 1-2 minutes. Deglaze pan with red wine and port and simmer for about 2 minutes on low heat.

Step 3

Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice. Heat remaining oil in a pan and cook fish for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 4

Remove mushroom sauce from heat and add cold butter and thyme, season with salt and pepper. Arrange fish on plates and drizzle with sauce. Serve.
