Ingredients

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

1 cup dry white wine

2 lemon slices

1 bay leaf

3 whole black peppers

1 pound fresh red snapper

Tarragon Sauce (recipe follows)

Tarragon Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon flour

3/4 teaspoon snipped fresh tarragon

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Dash of salt

3/4 cup reserved broth

1 egg yolk, beaten

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

for the fish

In a large soup pot combine vegetables, wine, lemon slices, bay leaf, peppers, 8 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer broth for 30 minutes.

Strain broth through cheesecloth.

In a skillet bring 1 cup broth to boiling; add snapper fillets. Add more broth to half-cover fish, if needed. Return to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish, reserving poaching broth; keep fish warm. Strain broth, reserving 3/4 cup for sauce.

Prepare Tarragon Sauce. Spoon some sauce over fish, and pass the remaining sauce.

For the sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine, stir in flour, tarragon, sugar and salt. Add reserved broth all at once. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Gradually stir half of the hot mixture into the egg yolk. Return all to the saucepan. Cook and stir till bubbly. Reduce heat, then cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice.

Makes 3/4 cup
