Poached White Fish and Eggs

A great high protein start to the day.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, whole
• 150 g white fish fillet, cut into two pieces (Hoki is a great choice)
• 200 mL water
• 3 teaspoons slivered almonds
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley
• Freshly ground pepper

Method

• Put the fish in a cool non-stick frying pan and cover with water.
• Bring slowly to boil, then simmer until fish is tender but not breaking up.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to a warmed serving plate and keep hot.
• Bring the cooking liquid to a boil.
• Crack an egg into a cup.
• Using a spoon, stir the water very quickly to create a ‘whirlpool’ and then slide the egg carefully into the water.
• Repeat with the remaining egg.
• Simmer for three minutes or until each egg is firmly set.
• Meanwhile sprinkle fish with pepper to taste.
• When eggs are cooked, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on each piece of fish.
• Garnish with slivered almonds and freshly chopped spring onions, spinach and your favorite herbs.
