TOMATO-POACHED FISH WITH CHILE OIL AND HERBS
Poaching boneless, skinless fish fillets in a brothy sauce is a foolproof (and undeniably delicious) method for cooking fish. Here, go for meaty, mild-flavored, firm-fleshed varieties like cod, haddock, pollack, halibut or flounder. This flavorful sauce, made from burst cherry (or other small) tomatoes, sizzled shallots and toasted garlic, definitely has a summery vibe; feel free to substitute a can of peeled tomatoes if the real deal isn't in season.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet (use one with a lid) over medium-high. Add garlic and shallots and cook, swirling the skillet constantly until they start to toast and turn light golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Add red-pepper flakes and swirl to toast for a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer all but 1 tablespoon of the chile oil to a small bowl.
- Add tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they burst and start to become saucy and jammy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add fish sauce, if using, and 1 1/2 cups water, swirling to release any of the bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened but still nice and brothy, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper and gently lay the pieces in the brothy tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook until the fish is opaque and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes (slightly longer for a thicker piece of fish, like halibut).
- To serve, transfer fish and brothy tomatoes to a large shallow bowl or divide among four bowls. Drizzle with reserved chile oil, more olive oil and the crispy shallots and garlic. Top with cilantro and mint, and serve with limes for squeezing over the top. Serve with tortillas, toast or rice, if you like.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes and olives and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Make eight shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a small bowl, and then gently pour into a well. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
- Garnish with sprigs of fresh time, if using, and serve with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
POACHED FISH WITH SPINACH IN CHILI-TOMATO SAUCE
I like this one because it's a one-pan dish-you will need a pan with a lid. You can use a can of tomatoes instead of making the purée if you wish, but puréeing the tomatoes produces a better result. You don't need to be precise with the quantities for this dish at all-a handful of cherry tomatoes, add some onion, etc. The important thing is to have the lid to keep in steam and heat so you get a very nice lightly cooked fish. You don't want to overcook it. I've used hake but you can use any white fish like cod, sea bass, halibut or even salmon. It's simple but tasty, and the kind of thing you could easily rustle up for yourself or friends. You can use any green veg but it works well with fennel-sautéed in a pan or slow-baked, or added to the pan and cooked with the fish and tomatoes. This is a great one for a novice cook.

Steps:

- Arrange the fish fillets in the pan, on top of the tomato sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and starting to flake. Just before serving, carefully stir in the olives and baby spinach and heat for a further minute.
- Meanwhile combine the parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and juice in a bowl.
- To serve, arrange the fish fillets on plates and spoon over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the herby topping, and add a squeeze of lemon juice to finish.
- Enjoy this with some additional steamed greens.

POACHED FISH
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

POACHED SALMON WITH SPINACH AND CHEESE
This is a recipe from Jyl Steinback's "Supermarket Gourmet Cookbook" that I received from Studentchef in the Spring 2009 Cookbook Swap. Although the recipe calls for salmon, I think that it would probably work well with cod or any firm white fish. The recipe also includes spinach, one of my children's favorite vegetables so it is tasty and healthy!

Tips:
- When choosing fish fillets for this recipe, opt for firm-fleshed varieties such as salmon, cod, or halibut, as they can withstand the delicate poaching process without breaking apart.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can create a makeshift one by placing a colander or heatproof bowl inside a large pot filled with simmering water, making sure the colander or bowl is elevated above the water level.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chili tomato sauce. However, if you have the time, making your own sauce from scratch will yield a more flavorful result.
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness in the sauce to your liking by adding more or less chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or basil for an extra pop of flavor and color.
