Default Yummy Fish w/ tomato bearnaise

Here is a recipe that I got from the back of a packet of Knorr Bearnaise Mix

Link to Original Recipe : http://www.letsmakeknorr.com/kitche...p?nav=21&rgid=4

And here is how I modified it to make it lower in Carbs! Not for every day meal but for special occassions (high carb count mainly comes from tomatoes ~5 net carbs per serving)

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup of cold water
1 packet of Knorr Bearnaise Sauce
1/4 cup of butter
2 fillets of fish (your choice)
1 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes (I removed the seeds)
1/2 cup of diced white onions
2 Tbs of vermouth cooking wine
Oil


Directions:
1. Follow directions on back of bearnaise mix (substitute heavy cream and water for milk) set aside.
2. Rub fish with oils and place in a small baking dish and bake in a 350 oven until fish flakes
3. Saute onions for about 5 mins in oil
4. Add tomoatoes and turn down heat and allow them to simmer fpr about 10 min then add vermouth.
5. Mix 1/4 cup of prepared bearnaise sauce to tomato mixture and keep warm (save remaining bearnaise sauce for eggs or meat or whatever)
6. Top fish with tomato bearnaise and enjoy!

Nutritional Information for sauce (per serving, not including oil for sauteung onions and tomatoes):

Just an FYI Nutritional Information for plain bearnaise sauce (serving size 2 Tbs)

This sounds really yummy and I never thought of using Bearnaise on fish! The addition of the tomatoes sound really great. I will probably make my own Bearnaise, since it's basically hollandaise with tarragon and shallots (or onion) and a little wine or tarragon vinegar. And hollandaise is the easiest sauce in the world to make from scratch. Thanks for posting!
