Kalaaliusoq (poached fish with herbs)

Instructions

1. Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Peel the onion and slice it finely.
2. Bring the water to a simmer in a large saucepan with the onion, salt, peppercorns and bay leaf.
3. Add the fresh herbs, roughly chopped, and let it infuse for 5 minutes over low heat.
4. Gently lower the fillets into the liquid and poach at a bare simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, never letting it boil.
5. The fish is ready when the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Lift it out carefully, drizzle with lemon juice and serve with the cooked potatoes on the side.
