  7. Add 2 tbsp of butter to the saucepan.
  8. Once melted, add the diced yellow onion (or shallot) and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  9. Reduce heated to medium-low. Stir in the chopped fresh tarragon.
  10. Add the cream and continue to whisk until lightly simmering.
  11. If desired, whisk in 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum to thicken the sauce.
  12. Continue whisking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  13. Serve the pan fried fish with the tarragon cream sauce.
  14. Enjoy!
