directions

  • Fill a saute pan fitted with a lid with water at least 1" deep.
  • Throw in parsley, lemongrass, tarragon and peppercorns. Then add the wine.
  • Cover the pan and allow the poaching liquid to come to a rolling boil then turn the heat down to low. Cook for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  • Bring the liquid back up to a rolling boil. Turn heat back down to the lowest setting. This is done so that the fish will not come apart due to creating violent currents. When the boil settles down, using a thin, flat, slotted spatula, place the fillets gently in the water, and cover for 5 minutes. Remove the fillets to a platter and keep warm. If you need to poach in batches, remember to bring the liquid back to a rolling boil and then back down.
  • Heat lemon juice to boiling in a small saucepan.
  • One piece at a time, whisk butter into lemon juice, until the sauce is fully emulsified. You should have a thin and creamy sauce.
  • Whisk in chervil and your salt and pepper. Pour over fish and serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change. *****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing! ****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences. ***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work. As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting! BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional! My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house! <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5025-white.swf?TimeZone=MST&" width="180" height="180" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> ACTIVITIES & SUCH: <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/snow-queens-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>What a round!
