This elegant dish combines perfectly seared fish fillets with a bright, zesty cream sauce studded with roasted red peppers and cherry tomatoes, alongside roasted potatoes and crisp-tender green beans. Seasoned with Borsari Citrus Seasoning, it’s fresh, flavorful, and worthy of a restaurant menu - yet simple enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

For the Fish

• 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or haddock)
• 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 2 tsp Borsari Citrus Seasoning
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Cream Sauce

• 1 Tbsp butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tsp Borsari Citrus Seasoning
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

For the Roasted Potatoes

• 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Borsari Savory Seasoning

For the Green Beans

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed (or asparagus)
• 1 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Roast the potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes with olive oil and Borsari Savory Seasoning. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and crispy.
2. Cook the green beans: Toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast alongside the potatoes for the last 12–15 minutes of cooking, until crisp-tender.
3. Prepare the fish: Pat fish fillets dry and season with Borsari Citrus Seasoning and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear fish 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
4. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in cherry tomatoes and roasted red peppers, cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in cream, broth, Borsari Citrus Seasoning, and lemon juice. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in fresh parsley.
5. Assemble the plate: Serve fish topped with citrus cream sauce, alongside roasted potatoes and green beans.

Pro Tips

• Using both cherry tomatoes and roasted red peppers adds sweetness and color to the sauce.
• Pat fish very dry before searing for the best golden crust.
• Pair this dish with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc for the perfect meal.
