Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and onions, slice them and put them in a pan, in equal parts milk and chicken stock, boil very gently until onions and potatoes are thoroughly cooked ; pass through a fine sieve and wet, just enough to get a soft cream.

Step 2

Trim the fish, then poach it for 8 to 10 minutes in simmering salted water. Put the vegetable cream over low heat, flavor with plenty of saffron. Bring to the boil and simmer about 5 minutes. Fry a few slices of stale bread in butter, let them cool and spread them with butter with chopped herbs.

Add a few spoonfuls of cream to the sauce, correct the seasoning if needed, add the pieces of fish to sauce and reheat without boiling.
