    Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour and paprika, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the fish broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the egg in a small bowl and add the cream, stirring to blend. Add this to the sauce. Bring to the simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Do not boil or the sauce may curdle. Add the capers, stir and remove from the heat.
