Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole codfish, cleaned, scaled and filleted

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter, plus 4 tablespoons

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup white wine, plus 1/2 cup

3/4 cup chicken stock

Salt and freshly ground pepper

3 ounces sour gherkins, julienned

1 tablespoon capers

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

This is an easy way to make a beautifully flaky, moist and tender dish out of a fish that can turn into cotton if youdon't have the right preparation to go by. <br /> <br />The idea of using a julienne of cornichons or gherkins with a whitefish put me off this at first, but when my curiosity got the better of me I went ahead and tired it out. <br /> <br />The result was a subtle piquancy that offset the sweetness of all those onions, creating a warm, fuzzy glow on the palette that reminded me of the secret love ingredient that mediterranean grandmothers slip into everything they make when no one is looking. <br /> <br />This recipee achieves that effect with very little effort, and is definitely worth a try. <br /> <br />The adventurous ingredients are an interesting eye opener, but the real value of making this dish is the cooking technique, which is easy to master. <br /> <br />I have prepared other fish recipees using the method described in this one with fantastic results, even when the ingredients are quite different. <br /> <br />Try this a few times and you'll acquire a very useful and adaptive approach to creating richly favored, beautifully textured dishes from even the largest and thickest cuts of fish.
