INSTRUCTIONS
Reserve 8 of the grapes, halve the remaining grapes, and in a small
saucepan let the grape halves macerate in the wine for 1 hour. Halve
the fillets lengthwise, season them with salt and pepper, and sprinkle
the skinned sides with the parsley and the thyme. Roll up each fillet
half with 1 of the reserved grapes in the middle and secure it with a
wooden pick. Stand the fish rolls up in a saucepan just large enough
to hold them in one layer without crowding them. Transfer the
macerated grapes with a slotted spoon to a small bowl, bring the wine
to a boil, and pour it over the fish rolls. Cook the fish rolls,
covered, at a bare simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they just
flake. Transfer the fish rolls with a slotted spoon to a plate,
reserving the cooking liquid, and keep them warm, covered. In a small
saucepan cook the onion in the butter over moderate heat, stirring,
for 5 minutes, stir in the flour, and cook the roux over moderately
low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and
strain the reserved cooking liquid through a fine sieve into the pan.
Add the cream, the macerated grapes, the lemon juice, and salt and
pepper to taste and boil the sauce, stirring for 3 minutes. Pour off
any liquid that has accumulated on the plate, divide the fish rolls
among 4 heated plates, and spoon the sauce over them. Serves 4.
