Poached Skate with Mushroom Tarragon Sauce

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets skate
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 package fresh button mushrooms cleaned & sliced
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped tarragon

Instructions
 

Make Sauce:

  • Gently sauté mushrooms in butter until they have absorbed all their water and begin to soften. Do not brown.
  • Mix corn starch into cream, then add cream and tarragon to the pan and let simmer for 4-5 minutes until it thickens.
  • Cover and set aside. ( Thin with milk if too thick)
  • Place fish in deep sauté pan.
  • Add enough water to cover the fish completely.
  • On medium to high heat, bring to a gentle simmer – reduce heat, cover and cook for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Test fish for doneness (it should flake apart at ridges, and be opaque).
  • Drain water from the pan.
  • Slide fillets on the serving plate.
  • Spoon warm mushroom sauce on top and serve immediately.
