The Story

Court bouillon is about seasoning the poaching liquid itself. If it tastes dull in the pot, the fish will be dull on the plate.

Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 45 minutes.

Jason's Notes

This is the fast broth that keeps poached fish from tasting flat. It should smell like wine, lemon, and vegetables, not like a full stockpot.
