Grenoblaise

[Doodad]

Can someone give me the pronunciation, meaning and origin of this term? I assume it is a town or region?

Making Pollack Grenoblaise based on Bourdain's recipe for dinner tonight. But, I thought I would deglaze with a dry Alsatian type wine prior to the juice and caper introduction.

Thanks.

Grenoble is an inland city in south-western France at the foot of the Alps. I would guess that this is were the name is from, but given the ingredients of lemons and capers I not sure that the recipe has anything to do with the city ultimately.

Grenobloise sauce (sometimes written as Grenoblois) is a browned butter sauce with lemon segments, capers, parsley, and croutons. I haven't seen the Bourdain recipe, but in theory this type of sauce doesn't have deglaze stage, just brown the butter and add garnish.

Thanks for the reply. I did indeed decide not to do a deglaze and did a reduction instead to add to the lemons, capers and parsley. Now if I can cook the fish properly I am good (I think).
