Poached fish with Lemon Parmesan Potato gratin

Lemons, lemons, lemons… Citrus fruits have been popular ingredients in the cooking world in recent times. Articles and a number of cookbooks have been written on the subject with a couple of amazing titles publishing this year even. I have always liked to add a squeeze of lemon juice or grate the zest into a dish to give it a little zinga zing. This recipe of poached fish (in milk & lemon) with a lemon potato gratin embodies that magical citrus flavour. A simple and quick recipe which can be thrown together in 30 minutes. Who’s says good cooking takes hours!
