INGREDIENTS FOR THE MILK-POACHED FISH RECIPE

3 sea bass

1 onion

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

Grated kashar cheese

PREPARATION OF THE RECIPE

1. Cleaning the fish:

First, the prepared fish must be cleaned well and filleted. The internal organs should be removed and the scales on the fish should be carefully scraped off.

2. Preparing the onions and garlic:

The garlic and onion should be finely chopped. While the garlic adds depth to the dish, the onions will add a sweet aroma.

3. Sautéing the onions and garlic in butter:

Melt the butter in a pan, then add the chopped onion and garlic. Sautéing the onions until they turn pink is an important trick.

4. Adding flour:

Add the flour over the sautéed onions and garlic and roast for a few minutes. This process will improve the consistency of the dish.

5. Adding milk:

The milk should be added to the pan slowly and stirred constantly. This action prevents the flour from clumping. After the mixture boils, black pepper and salt should be added.

6. Adding the fish:

The fish fillets are added to the prepared milk sauce. The fish should be well coated with the sauce.

7. Cooking:

The dish should be cooked over low heat for 15-20 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Finally, after the fish is cooked, lemon juice is added and it is served hot.
