Poached Smoked Cod and Egg with Hollandaise Sauce


Sticking with the theme of fish on Friday, going for a healthier option by poaching the smoked cod with a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce. Instead of Hollandaise a white sauce could be used or a parsley sauce. Serve the cooked sliced onion underneath of the cooked fish it adds to the flavour of the dish.
This the last blog for the next 2 weeks, going off looking for different ideas.
