Ingredients

• 4 haddock fillets
• 250 ml dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 shallots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 250 ml fish stock or water
• 100 ml heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the white wine and fish stock or water to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Season the haddock fillets with salt and black pepper. Carefully place them into the pan with the liquid, ensuring they are partially submerged.

Step 5

Cover the pan with a lid and poach the fish gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the haddock is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan on the side. Stir in the cream, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill, and allow the sauce to warm through on low heat for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once the haddock is cooked, carefully remove the fillets from the poaching liquid and place them on a serving platter. Keep them warm while you finish the sauce.

Step 8

Ladle 3-4 tablespoons of the poaching liquid into the cream sauce for added flavor. Stir well and taste, adjusting seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 9

Pour the warm cream sauce over the haddock fillets. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as steamed vegetables, potatoes, or rice.
