Poached Haddock

Ingredients
1 Small Onion (finely chopped)
1 Clove Garlic (finely chopped)
4x125g haddock Fillets
4 Tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice
4 Tablespoons White Wine
1 Lemon Juice (zested and juiced)
4 Tablespoons of Stock (either fish, vegetable or chicken)
Handful Fresh Parsley (roughly chopped)
Salt and Pepper

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Frying Pan (with lid, I use a wok for the lid)
1 Slotted Spoon
1 Fish Slice

The Good Bit
  1. In your frying pan bring to the boil the onion, garlic, orange juice, wine, lemon juice and zest and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about half, then add in the stock and bring back to the boil.
  2. Slowly and carefully place in the fillets then reduce the heat until you have a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 10 minutes until the fish is done (to check this, you should be able to flake the fish away easily with a fork)
  3. Remove the haddock when it is done and set aside, then bring up the heat again on the frying pan and reduce the stock by about a third, then stir in the parsley and season to taste. Serve the fish and pour over the sauce.
