Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or salmon)
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine (optional)
- 1 unit Lemon (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill (or parsley, roughly chopped)
- 2 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 units Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt.
In a large, shallow pan, combine the vegetable broth, white wine (if using), lemon slices, fresh dill, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the broth is simmering, gently add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer. The liquid should just cover the fish. If necessary, add a bit more broth or water.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the fish to poach gently for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While checking the fish for doneness, be careful not to overcook to ensure it remains moist and tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the fish fillets with a slotted spatula and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle the poached fillets with olive oil and garnish with a few fresh dill sprigs or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
