I served this wonderful sauce over our flounder and it added so much to the flavor of the fish! So subtle in flavor, yet has the power to bring an ordinary, everyday fish dish to a higher level. I could easily see this sauce used to compliment an elegant evening with guests. I will be making this again. Thank you, littleturtle, for sharing your wonderful recipes!
