Save 1/2 cup of broth from the pan, dispose of the rest. Melt Smart Balance in same skillet, then whisk in flour to make a roux base. Gradually add broth, whisking constantly and keeping at a boil. Reduce heat slightly and add half and half gradually. Heat but do not boil. Pour sauce over fish and serve with lemon wedges and parsley. Add a side of whole-wheat pasta with more sauce poured over it if desired!
