How to Make Eds Caribbean Fish Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 seeded and minced jalapeño (adjust to taste), and the zest of 1 lime. Sauté for 2 minutes more.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Bring to a simmer and reduce the liquid by 1/3, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Stir in 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more coconut milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives.
  9. Serve immediately over grilled fish (like Cobia!) or grilled chicken. Enjoy!
