4 stars (out of 5 - an easy, succulent fish dish - and super low calorie!)
I again wanted to try out another fish dish, and this one looked appealing. It was also described as super quick and easy (which I love!), and only has ~170 calories per portion (how fantastic is that?!). It turned out to be a really great tasting dish as well (which is always nice!) (Original recipe: http://www.companyscoming.com/index.php?par=free_recipes&fy=2007&fm=3&recipeid=705)

Ingredients*:
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
2 tbsp (30 mL) flour
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp dried tarragon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1 lb (454g) of haddock or cod(de-boned) fillets (I used haddock and it was good)*
{*Note. These ingredients are for 4 portions. I only used one smaller fish fillet for SB, and it worked really well (with lots of sauce). The original recipe called for 1 lb of fish (454g), about 1/2 an inch thick each}.
1. First, I added the butter to a large frying pan, and melted over medium heat.

1. First, I added the butter to a large frying pan, and melted over medium heat.
2. Once it was melted, I stirred in most of the flour for about one minute...
3. ... and slowly stirred in the broth, stirring constantly until it is boiling and thickened.
4. I then added the lemon juice and tarragon, and stirred well.
5. Lowering the heat to low-medium, I added the fish fillet to the pan, coating with sauce.

6. I then covered it with a lid and simmered it for 5-7 minutes (until the fish was nice and flaky).
7. I served it with all of the sauce and a side of rice (but feel free to be more creative with the accompaniments... I was burnt out after back to back patients today, so was a bit lazy!).
Overall, this was so so easy and very quick, but very tasty and "succulent" (direct quote from SB!). It also looked quite impressive, especially if you did a nice side with it (not instant rice - yikes!). It will definitely be added to my growing list of good fish recipes.
