This is becoming a family favourite! I use frozen fish, usually Pollock, smoked haddock and salmon and poach in vegetable stock to defrost whilst I prep everything else. Great for midweek comfort food. I'm a big fan of turmeric but I wouldn't normally think of using it with fish, very pleasantly surprised!
