Back to TopI used white wine instead of the red wine vinegar (it's traditional for French cooking) and poached some tilapia filets, but wasn't sure how long to boil due to incomplete instructions or how much salt & pepper to add. I turned the pot on low while running some errands and had it reduce by maybe a quarter but even then it needed more salt at the table to balance flavors. I'm also saving the strained poaching liquid as a fish stock in another recipe. This gives a very subtle flavor profile to your fish and would be useful for pairing with an appropriate sauce, like a cream-dill or mushroom duxelle.
