Simple Poached Cod Recipe

• 6 cups cold water
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
• 3 medium red potatoes, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 medium bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
• 1/2 medium lemon, sliced paper thin
• 6 fresh parsley sprigs, stems trimmed and coarsely chopped

1. Combine water, wine, shallots, potatoes, carrot, salt, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a large, shallow-sided pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat to low until liquid is at a simmer.
3. When poaching liquid is barely simmering, add fish in a single layer, making sure it is completely covered with liquid.
4. Poach until cod flesh is opaque and flakes easily (the internal temperature should be 175 degrees F) and vegetables are fork tender, about 7 minutes.
5. To serve, place 1 fish fillet in each of 4 bowls, divide vegetables and broth evenly, and garnish with lemon slices and parsley.
