Note

Storage: Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the fish.

Substitutions: If fresh trout or seabass is unavailable, other white fish fillets such as cod or tilapia can be used. Adjust cooking time accordingly as fillets may cook faster than a whole fish.

Tip: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce to the poaching liquid.

Safety: Ensure the fish is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 145ÃÂ°F (63ÃÂ°C).
