Poached Fish with Corn and Chive Vinaigrette

StrongerTogether.coop

Poaching fish gives it a tender, flakey texture that is pairs nicely with the lightness of the accompanying herbs. 

Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

25 minutes

Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound potato, new (halved)
4 fish, filets (6 oz each, skinned)
3 cups stock, vegetable (or fish stock)
1 cup white wine, dry
1⁄4 cup chives (coarsely chopped)
1 cup corn, sweet (fresh, frozen works well as a substitute )
1 pound spinach

Instructions

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and set aside.

Boil the new potatoes until tender when pierced with a paring knife (about 10 minutes), removing each potato from the boiling water to a plate. Keep potatoes warm. Save the simmering water to cook the corn. If using fresh corn, quickly blanch in the potato cooking water, and scoop out with a mesh strainer, reserving the cooking water for the spinach. Mix the corn and chives with the vinaigrette.

In a pan large enough to fit the fish without overlapping, combine the stock and wine. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat so the liquid is barely simmering. Carefully slip the fish into the simmering liquid and poach until the fish is just cooked—about 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Using a slotted metal spatula, carefully transfer the fish to a platter or plates. Cover loosely to keep warm.

Drop the spinach into the poaching liquid and bring the water to a boil for a minute, just until the spinach is bright green. Drain in a colander and press the spinach with a spatula.

Serve fish with potatoes and spinach, top the filets with corn vinaigrette.
