Velouté Sauce (Reduced Butter, Low‑Sodium Stock)

Velouté Sauce (Reduced Butter, Low‑Sodium Stock) is a classic French sauce based on a light stock thickened with a roux and served as a silky accompaniment to poultry, fish and vegetables. This version uses reduced butter and low‑sodium stock, making it a lighter take on the traditional velouté. Nutritionally it is relatively modest in energy at 45kcal per 100g and provides only small amounts of protein and fiber; it supplies some monounsaturated fat and trace minerals such as selenium and iodine from the stock. Because it’s a cream-style sauce, it’s a convenient way to add flavor and moisture with less saturated fat and salt than a classic recipe, but it remains a low-protein, low-fiber condiment rather than a nutrient-dense component of a meal.
