POACHED FISH IN SHRIMP SAUCE
This is a variation of a recipe which I found in an old cookbook I purchased over 25 years ago titled, The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking. I have changed it slightly to adapt to a less expensive version. It is really good with any kind of fish...but my favorite is with fresh salmon. If you read the entire recipe you will see that although it looks complicated at first glance it really is very easy and quick to make. Preparation time includes thickening time of cooking the sauce.

POACHED FISH WITH RUSSIAN SAUCE
"Russian Sauce" is probably the origin of Russian dressing, though the two no longer have much in common; still, the pickles and capers mark the relationship. This is most traditionally made with sturgeon (which is a wonderfully sturdy and flavorful fish) but can be made with any firm white fillet, from carp, catfish, or sturgeon to red snapper, sea bass, or grouper. Serve with boiled potatoes or plain white rice.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a deep skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. A minute later, add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until they break down and release their juices, about 10 minutes. Stir in the olives, pickles, capers, stock, and salt and pepper and bring to a steady simmer.
- Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, then gently slide the fillets into the stock and cook just until a thin-bladed knife passes through with little resistance, less than 10 minutes. Transfer the fish to a warmed serving dish.
- Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce slightly. If you want a thickened sauce, as is traditional, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the sauce. Lower the heat, then simmer until the sauce thickens; taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the fish, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Tips:
- Select the freshest fish possible: Look for fish that is firm to the touch, has clear eyes, and smells like the sea.
- Use a poaching liquid that complements the fish: Court-bouillon is a classic poaching liquid made with white wine, herbs, and vegetables. Other options include milk, tomato sauce, or even fruit juice.
- Gently poach the fish: Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer and then add the fish. Do not boil the fish, as this will make it tough.
- Cook the fish until it is just opaque: The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
- Serve the fish immediately: Poached fish is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Poaching is a gentle cooking method that produces tender, flaky fish. It is a great way to cook delicate fish, such as sole, flounder, and cod. Poached fish can be served with a variety of sauces, including shrimp sauce, hollandaise sauce, or beurre blanc. It can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and casseroles. With its delicate flavor and versatility, poached fish is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.
