Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 4 cups Fish stock or water
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 5 whole Black peppercorns
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Season the fillets lightly with salt and set aside.

Step 2

In a large, shallow pan, add the fish stock or water. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the liquid, then add the lemon halves to the pan along with the fresh dill, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the liquid mixture.

Step 4

Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil, as you want to maintain a steady temperature just below boiling.

Step 5

Carefully place the fish fillets in the simmering liquid. The liquid should barely cover the fish. If necessary, add a bit more water or stock.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and allow the fish to poach for about 8-10 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

While the fish is poaching, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the olive oil and set aside.

Step 8

Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove each fillet from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer to serving plates.

Step 9

Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil mixture over each fish fillet.

Step 10

Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with additional fresh dill or lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your delightful and healthy keto-friendly poached fish!
