Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Poach 800 g fish in 1 litre fish fumet (or, at a push, just use salted water with 1 Bouquet garni) at a gentle simmer until just cooked.

To ensure the fish is perfectly cooked, stick an electronic thermometer into the fish and cook until the temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Take the fish out of the cooking liquid, remove the skin and any bones, then flake (break up) the flesh.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 4 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Prepare and slice 2 onions finely (a mandolin is the ideal tool for this).

Stage 4 - 7 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a saucepan on medium heat. When hot, add the sliced onions.

Stage 5
Pollack Parmentier
Salt and pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes - the onions don't need to brown.

Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Peel 800 g cooked potatoeses (I'm using rattes here).

Stage 7 - 5 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Cut the potatoes into small pieces, then mash coarsly with a fork.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Add the fish, onions, thyme, salt and pepper, and mix well.

Stage 9 - 3 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Fill individual ramekins or a large gratin dish.

Top with grated cheese.

Stage 10 - 20 min.
Pollack Parmentier
Bake for 20 minutes, just until the cheese on the top has melted and is nicely browned. Finish browning under the grill if necessary.
Remarks
As mentioned above, you can use other kinds of fish, so this is a chance to choose something cheap and, above all, in season.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film. Reheats very well..
