  12. Add the cream, butter, parsley and fish, and season with salt and plenty of pepper.
  13. Stir to melt the butter and serve with an egg and a wedge of lemon.
  14. You might cut the eggs in half for presentation purposes.
  15. though there's something pleasing about cutting into a perfectly runny egg.
  16. As an alternative, you could add a little poached salmon to this too or toss through some flakes of hot-smoked trout when adding the poached fish at the end.
  17. Or, try using quails eggs instead of hens.
  18. Three per person should do.
