Olive Oil Poached Skrei

Poaching Skrei in oil preserves its clean flavors and maintains the juicy nature of the fish. This method is a versitile recipe to serve over pasta, rice pilaf or pan-roasted vegetables. Consider serving this dish using the remaining head of garlic in a bright gremolata and tossing with pasta, all topped with the oil-poached Skrei.
