Ingredients

8 oz Leeks

8 oz Carrots

8 oz Celery or celery root

8 oz Onion sliced thin

2 1/2 qt Water, cold

to taste --- Salt Pepper

2 1/4 lb Turbot fillets

2 1/4 lb Salmon fillets

pinch --- Saffron threads

1 oz Chopped chives

Directions

Cut the leeks, carrots, and celery or celery root into julienne and keep the trimmings.

Place the trimmings into a deep pan with the onion and cover with the water.

Bring slowly to a boil and skim to remove any impurities.

Simmer for 30 minutes, then strain into a shallow poaching pan and keep barely simmering to reduce to 1 1/2 of its original volume.

Season to preference.

Skin the fillets.

Cut the fish into pieces, 1 × 4 in. , and add to the cooking liquid with the vegetable strips and saffron.

Simmer for 5 minutes.

Check the seasoning.

Serve in broad soup plates with the cooking liquid.

Sprinkle with chopped chives.

Lovely. I'll even forgive the notion of salmon and turbot having 'fingers'. Some steamed potatoes would hit the spot with this, I think.

The recipe sounds tasty. However, something about the word "fingers" involved with anything fishy just leads my poor mind in the wrong direction.
