Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Mediterranean Sea bass, cod, or halibut are best for poaching.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid: Vegetable broth, white wine, and herbs add flavor to the fish.
  • Gently poach the fish: Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the fish. Do not boil the liquid, or the fish will overcook and become tough.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through: The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Poached fish is best served immediately, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
