What's the secret for sauces that complement fish but don't overpower it?

Answer 1

No secret just use sauces sparingly with fish. A little dab with do you. I like Salsa Verde.

Answer 2

Depends on the fish. Some fish like mackeral have a strong flavor and you can use teryaki to add a bit of sweet-salt quality to the fish. Others that are very delicate like sole need a minimum, so a lemon butter sauce is ideal. I have taken swordfish and just brushed it with sesame oil. That is a nice touch that doesn't over power the fish. A strong cocktail sauce will be ok with shrimp, which have a fair amount of flavor by themselves but will overpower scallops, which do better with a light cream sauce.

Here's a website with some suggestions:

Answer 3

Using Subtle flavors is the key. Using a Dill cream sauce on Salmon, or even a Lemon and white wine reduction on any white fish, or if the fish does have its own pronounced flavor(ie Salmon) you could do a Honey, Balsamic reduction(1 cup Balsamic Vinegar, heat till boil, reduce by half the volume, add honey to taste). Or you could use a simple seasoning such as Lemon&Pepper shake on seasoning you can buy at your grocery store.

Answer 4

Any white sauce with delicate flavourings like Parsley, Dill, Mint, Rosemary. Delicious. You can buy packets of sauces as well now.
