Ingredients

4 fish fillets of about 6 to 8 ounces each tilapia, sole or cod
1 small bunch of fresh parsley about 1 ½ cup chopped
1 cup of heavy cream
½ cup of chicken broth*
¼ of a medium size white onion
1 garlic clove peeled
2 teaspoon lime juice about ½ a lime
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper and lime juice.
Roughly chop parsley, onion, and garlic.
In a blender, combine parsley, onion, garlic, and cream. Blend until you have a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to thin it.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sauce for about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Gently place the fish fillets into the sauce and cover the skillet. Simmer for about 6 minutes until fish is cooked and tender.
Serve warm, spooning some of the sauce over each filet. This goes well with white rice and a salad.

Notes

* If you have shrimp broth or fish broth you can use it in here. Otherwise add water.
