Remove from the stock and keep warm. Remove lemon slices. Add 100 g cream and bring the stock to the boil. Add sauce thickener and bring to the boil again while stirring. Mix the remaining cream and egg yolk and stir into the sauce (do not let it boil any more). Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Add 100 g cream and bring the stock to the boil. Add sauce thickener and bring to the boil again while stirring. Mix the remaining cream and egg yolk and stir into the sauce (do not let it boil any more). Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Arrange fish fillets, spinach with crabs and sauce on plates. Boiled potatoes taste good with it
