Steps:

  • Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
  • TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
  • Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
  • Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
  • Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

POACHED FISH



Poached Fish image

This is one of my favorite ways to cook fish. Add a lovely sauce it is so moist and tasty. I like to poach Salmon, cod and sea bass. There are many sauce recipes here on Zaar or serve it plain with a dab of butter. I like to use a lightly greased rack so the fish is just above the water, espcially if it is a skinless filet

1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
salt
fresh ground black pepper
8 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Bring to a boil (over 2 burners, if necessary), reduce the heat slightly and gently slide the cod slices into the water with a spatula.
  • Lower the heat until the water is bubbling slightly and simmer the fish for about 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overcook or the fish will disintegrate. Remove the slices with a slotted spatula and drain them on a linen napkin or dish towel.
  • Arrange cod attractively on a heated platter and serve with egg sauce.
  • Egg Sauce:.
  • Melt the butter in a 1 to 11/2 quart enamel or stainless-steel saucepan.
  • Remove from the heat, beat in 1/4 cup of the stock in which you poached the fish and stir in the chopped egg, tomato, parsley and chives.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat almost to boiling point, pour into a sauceboat, and serve with the cod.
  • If you prefer, you can simply pour melted butter over the cod and garnish it with lemon slices and parsley.
  • In Norway, this dish is often accompanied by raw diced carrots, sprinkled with lemon juice, and new potatoes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1 1/2 to 2 pounds red snapper, grouper, sea bass, or any other firm fillet
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup good stock
2 tablespoons fresh or sour cream, optional
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Put eggs in small pot, cover with water and place on stove over high heat. When water boils, cover, turn off heat, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set up steamer with at least an inch or two of water on bottom and a tight-fitting lid; bring to boil. When eggs are done, cool under cold running water, peel and chop.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper and set in steamer above boiling water. Fish will cook through in 5 to 10 minutes (longer if steamer is very crowded). Fish is done when a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part meets little resistance.
  • While fish is steaming, put butter in small saucepan and turn heat to medium. When its foam subsides and it begins to turn brown, add the chopped eggs and some salt and pepper, along with about 1/4 cup stock. Add cream or a little more stock and bring to boil, stirring, until thoroughly blended and slightly thick; taste and adjust seasoning. When the fish is done, lay it on a plate and spoon sauce over it. Garnish and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh codfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick. If you can't find fresh codfish, you can use frozen codfish steaks that have been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • To poach the codfish, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently lower the codfish steaks into the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the codfish for 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
  • While the codfish is poaching, make the egg sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Once the codfish is cooked, remove it from the poaching liquid and drain it on paper towels. Serve the codfish with the egg sauce and your favorite sides, such as boiled potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Poached codfish steaks with egg sauce is a classic Norwegian dish that is both simple to make and delicious. The codfish is mild and flaky, and the egg sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
