SAUTéED FISH WITH MUSTARD TARRAGON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Dry fish completely and set aside. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil.
• When skillet is hot, sprinkle the fish with salt and add the fish to the pan. It should sizzle when it goes in the pan. If it doesn't sizzle, your pan isn't hot enough. Be sure the sides of the fish don't touch. Do not move the fish until it releases from the pan. When it releases, turn the fish. When second side is done. remove fish from the pan, place on a plate and keep warm.
• Add shallots to the pan and cook until edges start to brown.
• Stir in white wine vinegar. Using a spatula, scrape up any brown bits left in the pan. When vinegar is almost completely evaporated, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
• Heat the sauce, stirring frequently, until it reaches the desired thickness. Next, stir in the mustard and tarragon. Taste the sauce and add salt to taste. To serve, spoon the sauce over the fish.

HADDOCK ON POLENTA WITH TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub the bottom of a large saucepan with the butter. Add the scallions and the fish (folding the fillets in half if they are thin and long to approximate the thickness indicated here so they will cook in about the same length of time). Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper and wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil gently for 3 minutes.
• With the lid held slightly ajar on the pan so the fish don't fall out, pour the cooking juices into another saucepan. Add the cream to the juices, stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil 1 minute, add the dissolved potato starch and return to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the tarragon and chives.
• To serve, spoon polenta (see recipe) onto six individual plates. Arrange fish fillets on top of polenta and spoon some tarragon sauce on top.
