3 tb Unsalted butter
4 Leeks; white and light green
-parts only, rinsed well and
-julienned
2 Shallots; finely minced
2 Carrots; peeled and

1/2 c Celery root; (celeriac),

4 c Fish Broth; (page 56)
1 c Dry white wine
1 tb Fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon
-dried thyme
1 Bay leaf
1 pn Saffron threads
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper to taste
2 lb Fillet of firm-fleshed white
-fish; such as turbot, cod,

1 1/2 c heavy cream; or whipping
3 lg Egg yolks
2 tb Finely minced fresh parsley

1. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks,
shallots, carrots, and celery root and cook, stirring frequently, until the
vegetables have softened slightly but are not browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Pour in the fish broth and wine. Add the thyme, bay leaf, and saffron.
Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. (You can prepare the dish in advance up to this point.)
3. Before serving, bring the broth and vegetables to a simmer over medium
heat. Add the fish and poach, uncovered, in the simmering broth until just
done, about 10 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
4. Whisk the cream and egg yolks togethe; then gradually whisk in a
ladleful of hot broth to temper the egg mixture. Slowly stir the egg
mixture into the hot broth. Return the fish to the broth and reheat over
very low heat if necessary. Do not allow it to come to a boil or the sauce
will curdle.
5. To serve, arrange the vegetables in the bottom of heated soup plates.
Spoon the fish on top and ladle plenty of sauce over the fish and
vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Yield: 4 servings
