LEMON SAUCE (FOR FISH)

Steps:

• When I originally wrote this recipe, I really didn't think about the garlic much. I was using peeled garlic. If you use a head of garlic, do yourself a favor: Cut the head in half across the grain, and either use a garlic roaster, or wrap the head in foil tightly and bake for an hour at 250; That will loosen the cloves, and roasting will impart more flavor. Just squeeze each clove into the pan. OR (original instruction) mince the garlic until it's very fine.
• Melt the butter in a small pan.
• Add the minced garlic. brown the mixture.
• Add the flour and whisk to form a roux.
• Add the lemon juice and milk. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth.
• Hey! you're done! Pour a bit over your fish and enjoy!
