Equipment

- Slotted Spatula
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Measuring Utensils
- Stove
- Citrus Zester optional
Ingredients
- 4 fillets of a white fish
- 2 cups fish or vegetable broth
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh dill
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Poaching Liquid:
- In a wide pan, combine the fish or vegetable broth with the white wine. Place it on the stove over medium heat.
Season and Infuse:
- Season the poaching liquid with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add lemon slices, fresh dill, and fresh parsley to the liquid. These will infuse the fish with aromatic flavors.
Bring to a Gentle Simmer:
- Allow the poaching liquid to come to a gentle simmer. Make sure it's not boiling, as a gentle simmer helps maintain the fish's delicate texture.
Poach the Fish:
- Gently place the fish fillets into the poaching liquid.
- Let the fish poach for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.
Serve with Flair:
- Carefully lift the poached fish from the liquid using a slotted spatula to avoid breaking the fillets.
- Plate the fish and garnish with additional fresh herbs.
- Optionally, drizzle some of the poaching liquid over the fish for added flavor.
Enjoy:
- Serve your gourmet poached fish with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
Notes
- Choose Fresh Fish: Opt for high-quality, fresh fish.
- Moderate Seasoning: Season the poaching liquid moderately.
- Gentle Simmer: Maintain a gentle simmer to avoid overcooking.
- Aromatic Herbs: Infuse with herbs like dill or thyme for flavor.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Cook fish for 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
