- Add the liquid from the fish and cook for 5 minutes.
- Thicken the sauce with the cream, egg yolks, and parsley mixture.
- Place the cooked fillets on a serving dish and pour or spoon the sauce over the fish.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic when sautéing the onions and mushrooms. If you want to lighten the dish, substitute half of the cream with chicken or vegetable broth. Fresh herbs like dill can also enhance the taste. This recipe works well with various types of fish, such as those found in American recipes or seafood recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fish Supreme with a side of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables can provide a nice balance. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with Butter Herb Baked Fish for variety and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the dish in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth to keep the sauce from thickening too much. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make the fish rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish fillets, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. Thawing helps ensure even cooking and allows the fish to absorb the flavors of the seasoning and sauce better.
What type of fish works best for this dish?
Walleye and lake trout are excellent choices for this recipe due to their firm texture and mild flavor. However, you can also use other white fish like cod or haddock, depending on your preference and availability.
How can I make this dish dairy-free?
To make this dish dairy-free, substitute the cream with a non-dairy alternative like coconut cream or almond milk, and use olive oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter. This way, you can still enjoy a creamy sauce without dairy.
