poached devil fish

  • Heat the fish fumet.

  • Pour over the fish fumet. Add a few sprigs of thyme. Spread a few knobs of butter over the fish.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and poach the fish in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Check if the fish is ready by poking it.

beurre blanc

  • In a saucepan, bring the white wine, white wine vinegar and water to the boil for the 'reduction'.
  • Peel the shallot and cut into half rings. Add the shallot to the liquid and season with salt, pepper, a sprig of thyme and a bay leaf. Let it boil down.
  • Strain the reduction and put it back on the fire. Let it boil down further. Add a splash of cream.
  • Remove the stems and finely chop the capers.
  • Cut the cold butter into cubes and stir with a whisk through the reduction until it becomes a nice, lightly bound sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped capers.
