Something Fishy

Milk Braised Fish....Have I lost you yet??? It may not sound delicious but really, its good! Plus its a quick dinner with lots of flavor. Enjoy!

Milk Braised Leek and Fish
2 fillets fresh white fish
1 quart milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 leek, washed and cut into slices
4 cloves of garlic, cut into slices
3 Tbsp chopped tarragon
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground mustard
Salt and pepper
Zest of lemon

1.) In a shallow saucepan combine milk, cream, leek, garlic, herbs and spices and bring to a boil. Simmer 10 minutes. Salt and pepper the fish and add to the pan. Milk should come halfway up the sides of the fish, but not totally cover it.

2.) Cook the fish for 5-10 minutes until flakey, time depends on type of fish. Set fish aside, and turn up heat to reduce sauce for another 10 minutes. Serve with rice and sauteed vegetables. Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle with lemon zest.
