Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup minced scallions
6 haddock fillets (each about 1 inch thick and weighing 6 to 7 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry, fruity white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon potato starch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Polenta (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Rub the bottom of a large saucepan with the butter. Add the scallions and the fish (folding the fillets in half if they are thin and long to approximate the thickness indicated here so they will cook in about the same length of time). Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper and wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil gently for 3 minutes.
  • With the lid held slightly ajar on the pan so the fish don't fall out, pour the cooking juices into another saucepan. Add the cream to the juices, stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil 1 minute, add the dissolved potato starch and return to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the tarragon and chives.
  • To serve, spoon polenta (see recipe) onto six individual plates. Arrange fish fillets on top of polenta and spoon some tarragon sauce on top.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The haddock was cooked well, but the polenta was a bit too soft. The tarragon sauce was good, but it couldn't save the dish.

This dish was a disappointment. The haddock was bland and the polenta was dry. The tarragon sauce was too acidic and tart.

I didn't like this dish at all. The haddock was overcooked and the polenta was mushy. The tarragon sauce was too strong and overpowering.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. The haddock was cooked well, but the polenta was a bit bland. The tarragon sauce was good, but it couldn't save the dish.
