PLAICE IN CREAM

Preparation Method :

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
• Stir in the cream and stock and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, add the mace and season lightly to taste.
• Gently add the fish to the pan, loosely folded in half. Spoon the cream over the fish.
• Cover and poach gently for about 5 minutes, until the fish is tender and just flakes.
• Carefully transfer the fish to a warmed plate, using a fish slice, cover and keep warm.
• Boil the cooking liquor until slightly thickened.
• Spoon the sauce over 4 warmed plates, discarding the mace.
• Arrange the fish on top and garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon twists.
