Poached Tilapia With Herbed Cream Sauce Recipe

ingredients

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 small tilapia fillets (each 3 to 4 ounce and 1/2-inch thick)

Herbed Cream Sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon bottle horseradish

directions

Bring about 1 quart water to a boil in a large skillet and add the salt. Drop the fish fillets into the boiling water and bring the water back to a gentle boil. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand in the hot water for about 1 minute.

For the sauce: Pour the cream into a small bowl and add the salt and pepper. Whip with a whisk for about 15 seconds, or just until frothy. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Remove the fish from the water and blot dry. Place a fillet on warmed plates and coat with the sauce. Serve immediately.
