Haddock in cider sauce
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds haddock fillets
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 springs fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups dry (hard) cider
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 2 tablespoons light cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cut the haddock into four equal pieces and place in a pan big enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the onion, bay leaf, parsley, lemon juice, and season with salt. Pour in most of the cider, reserving 2 tablespoons for the sauce. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Strain 1 1/4 cups of the cooking liquid into a small saucepan over low heat. Mix the reserve cider with the corn starch and then gradually whisk into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking continuously for about 2 minutes or until smooth and thick. Add a little more cooking liquid if necessary. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, arrange on a hot serving platter with the onions and pour the sauce over.
Serves 4.

Substitutions:
Great served with small boiled potatoes and matchstick carrots with snow peas.
I would try 2 tablespoons of corn starch- 1/4 cup was way too much.
