Notes:
Delicious! Grilled vs poached. Reduce salt in parsley sauce by at least 50% to start. Made roasted fingerling potatoes with EVOO, garlic powder and salt; also roasted some cauliflower and broccoli separately.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons - unsalted butter
- 1 - strip of lemon peel (3 inches)
- 2 tablespoons - all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cups - plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cups - whole milk
- 4 - cod fillets (5 oz. each) skinned
- 1/2 cups - homemade or store-bought fish or vegetable stock
- - coarse salt
- 3/4 cups - finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley plus springs for garnish
- 2 tablespoons - finely chopped fresh chives
Directions:
Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add flour; whisk until a paste forms. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, whisking, for 2 minutes.
Whisking constantly, pour in milk in a slow, steady stream; whisk until incorporated. Whisk in stock. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in parsley and chives.
Meanwhile, bring 1-1/2 quarts water, the lemon peel, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium sauce pan or other wide straight-sided pan. Place fillets in liquid (do not crowd). Return to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let stand until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Reheat sauce over medium-low heat, if necessary, and add remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Gently lift fillets from liquid with a slotted spatula; place a fillet on each of four plates. Spoon one-quarter of sauce over each serving, and garnish with a parsley sprig.
