Poached Fish in Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce


Last Sunday evening, when I thought of cooking something new, I came across fish fillets in the freezer, so I tried out this recipe which requires less effort and tastes yummy.....poached fish in lemon butter garlic sauce. Poaching is cooking anything in a boiling or simmering liquid.

Fish is anyways a healthy option and this preparation is really light too...except for the lemon butter garlic sauce :) ...of course we don't mind a bit of butter on Sundays !!! All the spices really enhance the flavor in the fish.
This one was an instant hit with my hubby...hope you folks like it too !!!

Ingredients :

Fish Fillet - 1 (I have used a frozen Basa fish)

For the Poaching Liquid :
Star Anise - 2
Bay Leaf - 2
Black Peppercorns - 6-8
Mace (Javitri) - 1/2 flower
Cinnamon (Dalchini) - 1 inch stick
Garlic - 3 cloves
Green Coriander Stems - 6
Onion - 1 small sized

Water - 6 cups
Salt - to taste

For the Sauce :
Butter - 2 Tbsp

7. Now, add the fish fillet and cook it on both sides so that it's properly coated with the butter garlic sauce.
