Cold Poached Bluefish With Dill Sauce image

I first ate this at the Grand Central Oyster Bar in NYC, a truly great seafood restaurant. This is my recreation of that dish. It's nice for a summer luncheon. Bluefish has a texture which is ideal for this preparation.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs bluefish fillets
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1 cup dill sauce (I use Creamy Dill Sauce (for Smoked or Poached Fish))
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
4 fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Heat the wine and water to a simmer in a covered pan large enough to hold the fish in one layer.
  • Cut the fillets into 4 equal portions and place them in the pan, skin side down.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, covered, at a gentle simmer for 10 minutes (14 minutes if the fillets are more than 1 inch thick.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow to cool uncovered.
  • Remove fillets and chill in the refrigerator for two hours or more (a day or two is OK).
  • Prepare dill sauce according to recipe #106801.
  • Plate the fillets with a blanket of dill sauce and a garnish of cucumber slices and a dill sprig.
