ingredients

2 teaspoons whole butter, softened
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
2 orange roughy fillets
salt and white pepper, to taste
4 ounces white wine
4 ounces fish stock
2 ounces heavy cream, optional
2 tablespoons tomato concasse
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

directions

Rub the bottom of an 8-inch saute pan with the softened butter. Sprinkle the shallot into the pan.

Season the orange roughy fillets with salt and white pepper. Place the fillets in the saute pan, presentation side up.

Add enough of the white wine and fish stock so that the liquid just covers the fish. Cover the pan and heat the poaching liquid to approximately 185 degrees F. Do not let it boil. Poach the fillets until slightly underdone, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the fish from the pan to a warm plate, cover and hold in a warm place.

Bring the poaching liquid to a boil and reduce until approximately 2 fluid ounces (60 milliliters) remain. If desired, add the heavy cream and reduce until the sauce is slightly thickened, approximately 1 minute.

Add the tomato concasse and basil and cook only until they are warm. Adjust the seasonings with salt and white pepper. Plate the fish fillets and serve the sauce over the fish.

  1. Kristie REVIEW:

    I have made this recipe MANY times. It is delicious! My family loves this fish! We have also used other kinds of fish and it turns out well. Orange roughy is sometimes hard for us to find but it is best with the Orange Roughy.
