Critical Success Points

  • Scoring and seasoning the fish evenly
  • Maintaining a gentle simmer during poaching
  • Reducing the wine to a syrupy consistency before adding cream
  • Adding cream off‑heat if the sauce threatens to curdle

Safety Warnings

  • Hot liquid wine can cause burns; keep face away from the pan when reducing.
  • Use a splatter guard or keep a lid nearby when boiling the wine.
  • Sharp knife – use a stable cutting board.
