POACHED COD WITH LEMON-BUTTER SAUCE
From Pierre Franey, a very simple presentation of cod that really brings out the best in the fish. Delicious with a rich, spicy vegetable dish. If you want to concentrate the lemon flavor, grate a little lemon peel over the finished cod. You can also add chopped capers to the sauce.

Steps:
- Cut cod fillets into four serving size pieces and place in large pan in one layer.
- Add the milk and the water to the pan so that the fish is barely covered--if necessary add more water.
- Add the bay leaf, the parsley sprigs, peppercorns and cloves.
- Bring to a simmer and cover and cook gently for three to four minutes until fish just flakes--cooking time will depend upon the thickness of the fish--do not overcook.
- While the fish is poaching, start the sauce by melting one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and briefly cooking the garlic and the shallots in the butter.
- Remove 1/4 cup of the poaching liquid and add it to the sauce, stirring all the while.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, add the lemon juice and swirl in the remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time.
- Remove from the heat and add the minced parsley.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning.
- Drain the fish and serve it hot with the lemon-butter sauce poured over it.
