Pan-Fried Fish With Bacon-Mushroom Sauce
This is a wonderful recipe, with a great end result and is very quick and easy to put together. I found by making the sauce first and leaving it over a low heat to keep warm while making the fish allows for the bacon flavour to be imparted and gives it a lovely rich taste. I served mine over parsnip mash with fresh vegetables. If you would like to read other reviews of this recipe or view more photos please click here.
