Variety of sauces. Filling options
It is noteworthy that there are a huge number of sauces. So, every country has its own taste preferences. For example, white fish in tomato sauce is consumed in Mexico, where hot peppers are generously added to the dish.
Creamy options are more loved by the French and Italians. However, you shouldn’t limit yourself to just one delicacy. Fish goes well with a huge number of recipes. Sauce for white fish is popular, but far from the only option.
The following ingredients go well with fillet and can be used in sauces:

Varieties of sauces: tomato, green and creamy
Conventionally, all types of sauces can be divided into three actually huge groups. The first is tomato sauces. As the name suggests, it is based on tomatoes. It is red in color. White fish fillet in a sauce of tomato juice and hot pepper can decorate a festive table. At the same time, fresh vegetables can be easily replaced with pasta or sun-dried tomatoes.
The second group is creamy options. This includes gravies based on sour cream, cream, milk, yogurt and other fermented milk products. Here the cook can also show his imagination. It is noteworthy that these types of sauces are prepared only with butter. Otherwise, it will not turn out uniform, and its taste will be spoiled.
The group with green sauces is probably the most interesting. Herbs are actively involved here. Even just cilantro stewed with broth can be a wonderful addition to a fish dish.
Spicy tomato version
The white fish sauce recipe requires the following ingredients:
- Tomatoes - depending on the amount of fish;
- Oregano – a couple of pinches in dry form;

First you need to peel the tomatoes. Simple boiling water will help remove the skin from the fruit. To do this, cut the tomatoes crosswise and then pour boiling water over them. The fruits are kept like this for about five minutes. Now the skin comes off very quickly, without requiring any effort. Ideally, for a white fish sauce recipe, the seeds should be removed from the tomatoes. This is done by grinding the fruit through a sieve. However, this is not necessary.

Fish sauce is a universal way to turn an ordinary dish into a culinary masterpiece, improving not only the taste characteristics of the fish, but also giving it a refined aroma.
Most often, the main component of fish sauce at home is mayonnaise or tomato paste. In addition, fish broth, milk or kefir are often used. These components go best with fish and help it better reveal its flavor characteristics.
Spices added to the fish sauce also play an equally important role. They help give the finished dish a special, refined aroma. You can add a ready-made combination of spices for fish dishes, which are easy to find in any store. However, it is still better to create your own unique original composition that will highlight the advantages of the fish you have chosen.
All types of peppers, as well as various herbs and spices, go harmoniously with fish. Additional aroma and richer taste will be provided by vegetables, fresh parsley or dill, and garlic added to the fish sauce. In addition, caviar, lemon juice and ginger are an excellent option.
If your fish sauce is too thin, you can add a little starch or lightly brown flour. They will make the consistency of the sauce thicker and more pleasant.
It is important to know that the sauce should be prepared depending on the type of fish and the cooking method you choose. For example, baked fish is best combined with fatty sauces for fish at home, as they not only improve its taste and add an appetizing aroma, but also soak it and make it more tender. At the same time, for fried fish it is better to use a thick sauce served in a special gravy boat. But do not forget that any quick fish sauce should only emphasize the taste of the fish itself, and not interrupt it.
Tricks for making a simple and tasty sauce for fish dishes at home
- If your chosen step-by-step recipe for fish sauce at home with a photo includes eggs, it is advisable to use only home-made eggs for its preparation, since they have yolks of a richer orange color, thanks to which the sauce will have a very attractive and appetizing shade.
- To ensure that the dressing you prepare is not too thin and you do not have to use additional thickeners, prepare the sauce from heavy cream or sour cream.
- If you want the consistency of the sauce to be uniform and not burn during cooking, stir it constantly while cooking.
- Use only freshly squeezed lemon juice to prepare the sauce.
