Ingredients
  • 2 sliced shallots
  • 1 vanilla bean pod
  • a bay leaf
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 4 ounces fish stock
  • 2 pounds butter, melted
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds sturgeon fillet
  • 1 bunch watercress, baby kale, or parsley
  • 1 small red onion minced
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed & drained
Instructions
  1. Whisk together shallots, vanilla bean, bay leaf, salt, stock and bring to a simmer.
  2. Slowly whisk in butter and warm to 145 degrees F.
  3. Place sturgeon in butter and make sure butter remains at 145F.
  4. Poach for about 12 to 15 minutes. Check with fork for doneness.
  5. Remove from liquid when done and garnish with watercress, onions and capers.
  6. Chopped Baby Kale is a good substitute for Watercress. Less butter can be used by cooking in a smaller deep pot.
