Creamy Sauce for Fish

Fish Sauce Topping

This is a light sauce that goes well over fish! Simple one step sauce. Place all ingredients in food processor and its that easy.

Utensils Needs for Fish Sauce:
Food Processor
Cutting Board
Sharp Knife
Measuring Spoons
Spoon/Lime Squeezer
Bowl
Measuring Cups

Ingredients for Fish Sauce:
Handful of Cilantro
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Jalapeño, sliced and pitted
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Lime Juice
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1 Cup Plain Low Fat Yogurt

This is a very light sauce. It has a subtle kick towards the end due to the jalapeño. But it pairs well with fish of any sort.

Fish Sauce Recipe:

Handful of chopped cilantro


Gather all needed equipment and food before starting. Prep time takes about 5-6 minutes and processor time is about 5 minutes. So this takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes in total to make this sauce. To start we are going to chop up a handful of cilantro. Chopping it helps to release the flavor. Once this is chopped add it to the processor.







1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin




Next we will add the spices. First add 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, then add 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Place both of those in the processor!






Now cut the jalapeño in half and take out all the seeds. Most of the heat is in the seeds, so leaving a few in there will add to the hot, intense flavor. Cut it into four pieces and place it in the processor as well.
1 Jalapeño
I accidentally put garlic in the bowl

2 cloves minced garlic
Garlic has lots of health benefits. The garlic as a whole is called a bulb, each
segment is called a clove. One ounce of garlic contains only 43 calories and has 1.8 grams of protein. Garlic is also known to boost the immune system and can help prevent common illnesses. Garlic can also help prevent heart disease by lowering blood pressure and aiding in lowering cholesterol. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic to the food processor. Then squeeze 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice into the processor.


Chobani has good yogurt
Mixture before processed

Finally add 1 cup of plain yogurt to the processor. Then pulse it to get the biggest pieces chopped up. Turn the processor on low for about 3 minutes, stirring when the bottom becomes really creamy. The bigger pieces will turn up towards the top, so by stirring the mixture, it will help push those bigger pieces down. Then turn the food processor on high for another 3 minutes. It will turn into a creamy yummy mixture.




Once the mixture is all one consistency, place it in a airtight container. Then put that in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving it with the fish. The seasonings need to really time to spice up! And it will get creamier and thicker the longer you leave it in fridge. This sauce is also really yummy for dipping veggies!
