- To make the sauce: while the fish is cooking melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan
- Add finely chopped onion to the butter and sauté for about 2 minutes or until softened
- Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute
- Add the chicken stock and simmer until reduced by half

Notes
- It is important not to overcook Dorado. If you are worried rather take the fish out and test it with a fork. The fish should flake easily and still be moist when done.
