gorgeous recipe Mia and could you poach the fish in milk or wouldn't have the same texture and taste? I know sometimes oil is better but just thought I would ask anyway xoxo

Thank you, Beverley. Milk also works. I'd infuse fresh garlic and herbs into the milk and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Very nice indeed.
