Butter poached fish is easy to make and the fish comes out tender, and infused with the butter flavour. I used Icelandic cod in this recipe that I picked up at a local fish market, but feel free to use Pacific/Atlantic cod, halibut or another meaty fish.
The topping does not need to be cooked and surprisingly does not overpower the fish with the horseradish, and gives the dish a real kick. The dish is perfect on a bed of rice.
Another awesome thing is that this dish can be on your table in less than 30 minutes. Happy eating!
