Instructions

Prepare the broccoli

Place the broccoli in a steamer. Set it over a saucepan with 1 inch of water; bring to a boil. Cover and steam until crisp-tender; keep warm.

Poach the fish

In a large skillet, combine the water, onion, bay leaf, salt, and tarragon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the perch fillets in batches. Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish and onion; keep warm. Discard the bay leaf.

Make the sauce and assemble

In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of the poaching liquid until the desired consistency is reached. Arrange the broccoli on a platter; top with the fish, onion, and sauce.
