White Fish Poached In Milk

I love fish and am always looking for new, easy ways to cook the many fresh fillets that pass through our house. Poaching in milk is quick, healthy and a gentle way of cooking fish, making over-cooking less likely. My fillets of choice today are Flounder, which were caught fresh last night. Flounder is a flat fish similar to Plaice.


Ingredients


  • 200ml milk
  • 3 small fillets of white fish [anything you want really but I think flat fish like Flounder, Plaice and Dab work best]
  • 50g cooked smoked sausage cooked
  • 25g onion diced
  • Salt and pepper

Method




Put all the ingredients in a pan over a low heat, cover and allow to come to a simmer. 

Keep a close eye as the milk can begin to bubble over quickly. 

Cook for five minutes, until fish is opaque.

I served mine over mashed potato with some sweetcorn. Make sure to use some of the warm milk as a creamy sauce.
