Red Snapper with Lemon Cream Sauce

So many of my dishes come together from me walking around Whole Foods trying to figure out what I want for dinner.  On the particular day that I first made this dish I was walking through the grocery store and saw a beautiful red snapper filet staring me in the face.  That red snapper filet reminded me of a blackened snapper and asparagus dish that I used to make when I was in college.  I used to make an aioli to go with the the snapper, but decided to swap it up with a lemon cream sauce for this dish.

Sauces when done right can really make a dish, and this is very simple lemon cream sauce is one that i am pretty proud of.  Over the course of the four years I have been seriously cooking I have found sauces to be the most difficult cooking skill to learn.  I've looked into taking cooking classes before, but I've made it this far without every taking one so why start now?  If I can teach myself how to make my own cocktail syrups I can teach myself how to make my own sauces.

This sauce goes really well with my Garlic & Herb Asparagus  recipe.
