To spice up their white fish fillets, dietitians have their favorite sauce. Much less fatty than Hollandaise, but just as creamy and tasty…
Worse than fries without ketchup? White fish without sauce. As much as the grilled salmon goes like a letter in the post, the saithe and cod stick in your throat. Exactly like a ridge that got stuck accidentally during the descent. But because it is lean and a source of satiating protein, you persist in keeping it on the menu at all costs. At least long enough to achieve your slimming goals (afterwards, you’ll see…). Except that you know very well that it is not by pouring an industrial briquette stamped “beurre blanc” or “Dutch” into it that you will melt on the scales…
They are very nice, those who recommend that you sprinkle the flesh with lemon juice or emulsify a vinaigrette. But where is the creamy one? Putting on a dry net is out of the question. All you want is a creamy, creamy sauce to drown your damn white fish, which is always too dry, without causing a caloric tsunami. Is that really too much to ask?
When it comes to fishing for smart ideas, you can always count on the inventiveness ofYsaline Benakli. In an Instagram post, the dietician-nutritionist from Tours prepared her two hake fillets with an unfailing quick sauce, extremely creamy, yet devoid of fat. His secret? Replace the traditional crème fraîche with skyr, which despite a particularly dense and thick texture does not contain a gram of lipids. A real boon for gourmands who watch their figure!
To make it, she simply heated the equivalent of 100 g of Icelandic yogurt in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of whole-grain mustard, salt, pepper and smoked garlic. Nothing too rocket science, you just had to think about it… And if you’re looking for a low-budget alternative to skyr, which apparently costs three times as much as low-fat fromage blanc, opt for two small pots of 0% cream cheese. They are less expensive, but have more or less the same consistency.
With this sauce, white fish immediately becomes more pleasant to eat. It’s quick, it’s light, and it finally provides the creaminess that was missing. A little idea that’s easy to keep on hand to make the meal softer, without making anything heavier.
