Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

6 fillets fillets
1 medium Onion -- large, thinly sliced
1 large lemon -- large, sliced thin
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 piece bay leaf
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons butter
2 cups champagne -- extra dry or brut
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
 

Preparation:

Mix together the 2 tsp flour and 2 tsp butter; reserve. Butter generously a baking dish large enough to hold fish. Arrange fillets, covering with onion and lemon slices, season with salt and pepper, thyme and add bay leaf piece. Pour in 1-1/2 cup Champagne. Place fish in preheated 400F oven, checking after 10 minutes. Fish cooks very quickly this way and cannot be allowed to brown. Remove when milky white and flakes to fork. Discard lemon and onion but drain juice into small sauce pan. Keep fish warm. Concentrate juice over stove, thicken with dabs of flour-butter mix. Add 1/2 cup champagne and egg yolks. Thicken beating over double boiler or over low fire. Cool sauce quickly when done. Spread over fish and serve.
