Pan-Fried Navaga in Cream Sauce

A complete, delicious, and healthy dinner in half an hour? It's absolutely doable! The star of this dish is the sauce — tender and fragrant, and it makes the fish taste incredible. This is one of my favorite "quick" recipes, for those days and evenings when there's no time or energy left to cook.

  • Step 1. Wash the thawed fish and, if needed, remove the head, tail, and innards. Cut the navaga into serving-size pieces and season with salt and pepper to taste. Step 2. Dredge the fish in flour on all sides and fry in preheated vegetable oil until golden. Step 3. While the navaga fries, start the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the finely chopped fennel in it until golden. Step 4. Pour in the wine and let it bubble briefly to cook off the alcohol, then add the fish or vegetable broth. Cover and simmer over medium heat until the fennel is tender. Step 5. Add the garlic, then gently stir in the egg yolk whisked with the cream. Mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper and keep over medium heat, stirring now and then, until the sauce thickens. Step 6. Stir in the finely chopped herbs and take the pan off the heat. The sauce and fish are ready to serve — plate them up and spoon the sauce generously over the top. Enjoy!
