For a richer sauce, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, pairs beautifully with this dish. If crawfish is unavailable, shrimp can be substituted. Be careful not to overcook the sea bass, as it can become dry. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

04
StepStir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and forms a roux, about 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
