What makes this sauce so great? Butter.
I really like the food I make but I rarely impress myself. After the first few bites I declared that I would order this dish at a restaurant, it's that good. The fish was cooked with a perfect flaky texture and the sauce was to die for. Damian actually asked what was in it and surprised when I responded with butter. When making an amazing dish, sometimes you have to ditch everything that's "low fat" and use the real thing. The rest of the dish uses great ingredients to make up for it. If you don't like the kick, stay away from the red pepper flakes, but I think it makes a great combination with the tart capers.
There is supposed to be another snow storm hitting the Midwest this weekend, thankfully the radar looks as if it will be south of here. I don't think the twin cities are ready yet for another blizzard.
