Garlic-Poached Cod

2 cups dry white wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 chopped trimmed green onions
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 pound cod

In a skillet, combine wine, garlic, green onions, bay leaf and peppercorns; add cod, then heat just to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Remove from stove; serve hot.
Makes 3 servings.

Cooking Tips:

Always begin poaching fish in a cold liquid; this way the outside doesn't get cooked before the inside is done.
Any white fish -- sole, flounder, halibut, etc. -- can be substituted for the cod in this recipe.
The poaching broth can be reduced and used as a sauce for the fish or used as part of the cooking liquid for rice to use as an accompaniment.

When it flakes easily, and looks milky white.

if its head is still attached, lol, the eyes turn cloudy. thats what my mom always told me ha

It will flake easily if pricked with a fork. The flesh will be a milky white color. After a few times, it will be easy to recognize when its done..
