Poached Fish Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb haddock fillets
2 cups water
3 tbsp white vinegar
1/4 cup finely-chopped onion
3 whole peppercorns
2 parsley sprigs
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp salt

Recipe Instructions:

Cut fish into six serving portions and place them in a large frying pan. Combine all other ingredients and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cover pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Lift fish out of liquid carefully with a pancake turner. Serve with lemon wedges or with "Sunshine Sauce," "Cucumber Sauce," or "Dill Sauce" (see recipes).

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Exchanges Per Serving: 2 1/2 Lean Meat.

Nutrition Facts: Carbohydrates 1g; Protein 17g; Fat 6g; Calories 124; Fiber 0.1g; Sodium 142mg; Cholesterol 72mg.

Comments: Because poached fish has even less fat than allowed in the lean meat exchanges, feel free to use 1 teaspoon of a sauce or lemon butter over each serving without counting the fat exchange for the butter.

Note: Low-sodium diets: Omit salt. Choose a freshwater fish.
