Lemon Cream Sauce

This elegant Lemon Cream Sauce is rich and flavourful. A little goes a long way so don't let the cream deter you!

This sauce is perfect for seafood, salmon, asparagus, rice - even pasta. Anywhere you want a burst of lemon.

I first served it with this Herb Crusted Salmon and Lemon Pistachio Rice.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 Tbsps butter

• ▢ 1 ¼ cups dry white wine
• ▢ 1 ½ cups heavy cream 35%

• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over high heat. Add shallot and cook 2 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Boil until it is reduced to about ½ cup. This may take 5-10 minutes depending on the size of your saucepan.
