This sauce takes about 30 minutes to reduce and it holds well over low heat for long periods. It provides a nice accompaniment to most fishes. The lemon scent and flavor provided by the lemongrass are more subtle than would be provided by using lemon juice. There’s also a certain sweet aspect provided by the onion and leek.
