This was really lovely. <br/><br/>After some initial questioning of the cooking method (not sure if it's really poached or should be called braised) I prepared all ingrediants. This only took about 10-15 minutes. I had some fresh tarragon growing so opted to use a few sprigs of that rather than dried. I was unable to source any Sole so I used Basa fillets (1 fillet gives you about 2 serves for this dish)<br/><br/>I did also decide to double the sauce so that my fish would actually be submerged in the pan that I used.<br/><br/>The directions were nice and easy to follow and this was a surprisingly quick and delicious meal.<br/><br/>I served this with some quinoa & spinach.<br/><br/>Thanks for a lovely dinner.
