This mushroom sauce, paired with white fish fillets, is a simple recipe that is ready in minutes— perfect for an easy and quick family meal. The combination of mushrooms, onion, and thyme with sour cream and lemon juice is a scrumptious sauce for the tender and flaky fish.
You can use any type of mushroom you'd like in this recipe, including cremini, button, and brown mushrooms; shiitake, or chanterelles. When you buy mushrooms, look for the ones with tightly closed gills (the underside of the mushroom cap) and smooth, unblemished caps. The stem should be tightly attached to the cap, and the mushrooms should not be damp or soft.
You can choose any type of fish fillet as well, such as arctic char, red snapper, cod, orange roughy, or any mild white fish. The sauce is also good over salmon or tuna, or try it over chicken or sliced pork tenderloin for a change of pace.
Serve this easy recipe with some hot cooked rice or a rice pilaf to soak up the wonderful sauce, a crisp and cool green salad, some dinner rolls or savory scones, and some vegetables such as steamed asparagus or roasted green beans.
