Recipe developed by SNP Ambassador Barton Seaver
| 1. | Season fish lightly with salt and let rest. In a large skillet, make a broth of water, finely diced carrot, shallot and thyme. You should have just enough broth to cover your fish. Simmer broth for five minutes to steep it like tea. |
| 2. | Reduce heat so that liquid is 180°F. Slide fish into liquid so that it is just submerged. Adjust heat so that liquid stands between 165°F and 175°F. Gently poach fish until it is cooked through, 4-6 minutes per ½-inch of thickness. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate. Remove thyme sprigs from the poaching liquid and discard them. Continue to simmer the sauce until it is reduced to 1/2 cup. Whisk butter, apples, and almond slices into sauce until the butter is fully incorporated. Spoon sauce over the fish. Serve immediately. |
