Poached Cod with garlic cream sauce

Easy, fast & tasty.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Poaching liquid

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1 sprig oregano

1 sprig tarragon

2 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups white wine

1-2 cups water

1.5 pound cod filet

2 tablespoons olive oil (separate from oil above)

1 tsp chopped garlic

4 fresh sage leaves, finely minced

1 TB fresh oregano, minced

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup sour cream

Watercress for garnish (1 bunch)

Heat the oil in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat and saute the garlic for a minute, stirring. Add the oregano, tarragon, bay leaves and salt, and cook for another minute. Add the wine and the water and bring to a simmer. Lower the fish into the poaching liquid and simmer for 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

While the fish is poaching, heat the final 2 TB of olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat and cook the garlic, sage, and oregano for 2 minutes, stirring. Turn off the heat, and stir in the sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This is your sauce.

Arrange cod over watercress, pour sauce over, pour a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and enjoy a great meal.
