Mushroom Consommé

2 cups mixed wild mushrooms
1/2 medium onion, finely diced

Method
Marinade
1. Combine all ingredients. Marinate fish, in fridge, up to 12 hours.
Mushroom Consommé
1. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and mushroom. Caramelize until a rich golden brown. Add honey and cook one min. De-glaze pan with vinegar and wine. Simmer. Reduce by half. Add stock. Simmer until liquid has reduced by 1/3.
2. In a frying pan, brown butter over high heat. Once the butter foams, and milk solids turn dark brown, remove from heat. Add to consommé. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, squeezing all liquid from the mushrooms.
Creamed Leeks
1. In a frying pan, combine butter and oil. Heat on medium high, adding leeks. Sweat until leeks are soft and transluscent. Add cream. Allow mixture to simmer until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sable Fish
