How To Make steamed bass with lemon cream sauce
-
Step 1Take the banana leaves and rinse with warm water. Cut to make 6 squares big enough to hold the filets and wrap around them. Lay each filet on a banana leaf diagonally

Step 2Sprinkle each filet with salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and place a little pat of butter on each one. Take the pointed ends up to the middle then fold the side over and roll them up burrito style. Place them in a steamer. I have a double bamboo steamer. I placed 3 in the bottom and 3 in the top. Place over boiling water for 15 minutes.

Step 3Meanwhile make the sauce. In a saucepan add a little oil and throw in the shallots. Sprinkle a little salt and cook until softened. Whisk the heavy cream, lemon juice and cornstarch together. Pour in pan with onion and keep whisking until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
