Deep Poaching Cooking Methods (2 of 2)
Method B - Fish cuts on the bone (Tronçon/Darne) deep poaching fish
1. Season the fish cut .
2. Heat the bouillon to simmering point and carefully place the fish cuts in the bouillon.
3. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until cooked (depending on the size of the portions).
4. Drain off the court-bouillon and remove the bone from the fish with a small knife or needle if it is a round fish. For flat fish, the bone is left in the fish to prevent the shape of the tronçon being disturbed.
5. Place onto the service dish and decorate as per recipe instructions.
6. Hot deep poached or boiled fish are served with a garnish of barrel shaped, hot, plain boiled potatoes, persil en branche and a lemon wedge, neatly trimmed and de-pipped/de-pithed. A variety of hot and cold sauces can be served with boiled fish.
7. Fish cooked in this way is far healthier than those methods which employ fat in their cooking process.
