Ingredients
  • 4 fillets Bluefish (4 oz each)
  • 1 pint Dry Chablis wine
  • 1 cup Shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 pint Heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 large Egg yolks, beaten

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. 2
    Lightly butter a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.
  3. 3
    Place the bluefish fillets in the prepared dish.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle the finely chopped shallots and parsley evenly over the fish.

    While the fish bakes, carefully drain the cooking juices from the baking dish into a small saucepan.
