Poaching ensures the regular penetration of liquid into the flesh of the fish, so that it is less likely to fall apart or dry out. For maximum flavour, fish must be poached in a vegetable broth called "court-bouillon", that is made ahead.
Court-bouillon | |||
600 g | cod fillet, or hake | ||
85 mL | Mayonnaise Sauce | 2 1/2 tsp |
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
After poaching the fish, the court-bouillon may be discarded or filtered and kept in the refrigerator or in the freezer, for later use as "fish stock".
