POACHED FISH

Steps:

• In a a large skillet (fitted with a lid) pour in 1 inch (25mm) of water, add all ingredients except fish& bring to a boil.

FISH POACHED IN A TOMATO WINE SAUCE (CAN BE MADE SALT-FREE)

Steps:

• Whisk together tomato paste, water, wine and lemon juice and pour into a skillet large enough to accomodate the fish filets lying flat.
• Heat briefly and add the basil.
• Place the fish on the bottom of the skillet so that they are partially covered by the liquid and sprinkle evenly with the pepper.
• When the liquid starts to simmer, turn down the heat, cover and cook until the fish is cooked through (usually 10 minutes for fish filets, but only a few minutes for shrimp or scallops).
• Remove the fish to a warm platter, turn up the heat and allow the liquuid to cook down for a minute or so.
• Serve fish with just enough sauce to barely cover the top and garnish with parley and top off with some sea salt.
• Place extra sauce on the table for the fish and/or to serve over rice.

POACHED FISH WITH SAFFRON VERMICELLI

Steps:

• Poach the fish in barely simmering (not boiling) salted water for 5-10 minutes, until the flesh looks opaque when you cut into it.
• At the same time, break the vermicelli in your hand into small pieces and cook in about 5 cups of boiling salted water with the saffron until just tender, stirring vigorously so that the vermicelli do not stick together. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the saffron water to use as a sauce. (Keep the remainder if you like-there is very little left-to pour into a soup or a stew.) Beat the olive oil into the water, season with salt and pepper, and add the parsley or cilantro.
• Serve the fish on a bed of vermicelli, with the sauce poured over.

POACHED FISH WITH RUSSIAN SAUCE

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.

POACHED FISH WITH SPINACH IN CHILI-TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a pan on medium heat and sauté the onion, fennel and chili for 2 to 3 minutes, to soften. Add the tomato purée and cherry tomatoes. Simmer for a further 4 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper.
• 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.

Bring to a boil, stirring, then simmer, partially covered, 25-30 minute Stir the parsley into the sauce, then remove about 1 cup of the sauce from the pan and reserve. Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer. Pour the reserved sauce over the fillets. Partially cover the pan and simmer the fish about 10 minutes, until the fish flakes. With a large slotted spatula, transfer the fish to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over the fillets. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or rice and green beans.

• Put in the fish. Cover and simmer till cooked through (about 5-10 minutes depending on thickness of fish.).

• Take out the fish onto a plate leaving sauce in the pan.
• Dissolve starch in water to make starch water.
• Add basil to sauce.
• With one hand stirring the sauce, slowly dripping in only enough starch water to achieve the right consistency (the sauce should be able to stay on the fish, but not lumpy.) Make more starch water if the sauce is still too watery.
