- 1 clove garlic smashed

Notes
- Don’t let the butter boil. Keep it just below a simmer.
- The fish is done when it becomes opaque. If you prefer a more concrete way to know when it's safe to eat, the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer will be 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the fish.
- Leftover butter may be frozen and used to poach fish again at a later date.
- *A number of different vegetables work well with this preparation. Try broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, parsnips, winter squash, radishes, turnips, or your favorite vegetable. Root vegetables may require a bit more time in the oven.
- Pat fish dry with a paper towel before placing in the poaching liquid.
