Ingredients

2 white fish fillets - (abt 6 oz ea) skin and bones

removed

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup dry white wine

2 teaspoons butter or margarine cut into pieces

1/4 cup tiny cooked shrimp - (2 oz)

1 teaspoon minced flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and arrange them on a baking pan. Pour the wine over and dot with the butter.

Bake, uncovered, until the fish is just opaque through the thickest part, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish. Transfer the fillets to warm plates and cover with foil.

Pour the pan juices into a saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add the shrimp and parsley to the sauce and simmer until hot, about 1 minute longer. Taste the sauce for seasoning and spoon it over the fish.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
