How to Make Herb Cheese Sauce For Fish

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 ounces of shredded Gruyere cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Spoon generously over cooked pan-fried fish fillets and serve immediately.
