À la nage—the French method for poaching fish in a delicate broth—is gentle and mostly hands-off, and it delivers pristine flavor with restaurant-caliber panache.

  1. I love this method of preparing fish! It was the first way I learned how to cook white fish like halibut. I suggest practicing with cod. Halibut has become astronomical in price. This is such a good video! Love this!

  2. (154) Oh, wow. That was a lot less foo-foo than I thought it was going to be. When we get a new standing freezer (our old one died a week ago) I'll ask Malcolm to get some nice frozen cod from Costco and make this.

  3. Could I eliminate the parsley and still come out with the desired results? Parsley is incredibly bitter to me and I can't eat it. Or is there a substitute?

  4. À la nage, yes. Vanilla, no. Adding vanilla to fish was a gigantic trend that died a painful death about 15-20 years ago. The reason? It's revolting! I tried it a couple of times, thinking it was the preparation that was off—but it was the presence of vanilla that was always the bad note. It brings nothing to the table and adds a weird, warm, "something went bad" flavor. Do yourself a favor and skip it!

  5. This looks great. Sorry to be one of THOSE people, but I don't really like tarragon. Could I substitute dill?

  6. That broth would become something else with a dollop of butter. I know it. Lovely fish recipe.

  7. What a lovely recipe! I think you could use the liquid that was used for blanching the herbs in place of the water – even more flavor!

  8. Exaggerated fish recipe … it’s just poached fish … nothing to be posting about …. Go check out a Brazilian fish dish called moqecua or a Tunisian dish or a plater in southern Italy France Greece or turkey … utterly stupid fish recipe here …

  9. The technique is great, but I a super skeptical of that giant dollop of mustard. You wont taste anything else

  10. This is a very interesting innovative recipe.I never would have thought to pair these things together.I am a huge fan of halibut

  11. That fancy presentation doesn't work very well for people that spend much time outside in the wilderness.
    It resembles the wrong kind of things 'in nature'.
