Easy Poached Fish



INGREDIENTS:

1 qt Water

1/2 md onion - sliced

6 Whole black peppercorns

3 Whole allspice

3 tb Lemon juice

1 Bay leaf

1 t salt

1/2 c Dry white wine

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients in large skillet or Dutch
oven.  It may be necessary to double or triple recipe
if larger amount of liquid is needed to be sure fish
is just covered during poaching.  Simmer for 20-30
minutes to blend flavors.  Add fish, cover and simmer
over low heat for 15-25 minutes, or until fish flakes
easily when tested with a fork.  (note: Avoid using
high heat.  Boiling action will break up fish.)  Lift
cooked fish carefully from liquid with wide spatula.
Drain well, patting excess moisture from fish with
paper towels if necessary.  Poached fish may be
served hot or cold with a complementary sauce or
flaked - chunked and used in casseroles, spreads,
etc.
