Poached Cod

1 lb boneless cod fillet (or any firm white fish)

6 oz Shitake mushrooms

5 scallions

½ cup fish or clam broth

¼ cup white wine

1 tablespoon soy sauce 

1 tablespoon grated or finely minced fresh ginger

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

several grinds of pepper

Cut cod into 4 equal-sized portions. Place in 10-inch skillet.

Remove stems from mushrooms and discard. Cut mushroom caps into halves or thirds, depending on their size. Add to pan.

Trim scallions into 4-inch pieces. Add to pan.

In a small bowl, combine fish broth, white wine, soy sauce, and ginger. Pour over fish and vegetables.

Sprinkle on the parsley and pepper.

Place skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Lower heat to lowest setting and simmer very gently until fish is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

To serve, discard scallions. With slotted spatula, lift fish and mushrooms onto heated plates.
