For the Vinaigrette
Preparation
- Step 1
Place all the ingredients for the court bouillon, along with 2 quarts of water, in a large skillet or small fish poacher. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Step 2
Submerge the fish in the cooled bouillon. If there is not enough liquid to cover the fish by at least one inch, add water to cover. Return to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and poach for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand in liquid about 5 minutes longer before serving. Do not overcook.
- Step 3
To make the vinaigrette sauce, place the mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, shallots, garlic and chervil in a blender or a very fast food processor.
- Step 4
As mixture blends, pour the oil through the opening of the cover. Blend well. If sauce is too thick, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. Adjust the seasonings.
- This dish can be served lukewarm or cold.
