Herb Pan Sauce for Fish

This is a quick sauce to make in the same pan in which you cooked the fish. Cook the fish in the pan and transfer fish to a warm pan or oven, but make sure you don’t continue to cook the fish. This sauce takes about 5 – 6 minutes to prepare. If you don’ have access to a variety of herbs, just use parsley. I know you can find parsley!
