Poaching fish for six is easier than you think. In this Mad Genius recipe from Justin Chapple, two large fillets are oven-poached in fruity olive oil with fresh herbs and lemon. For an unfussy presentation, place the baking dish on the table and serve the fish family-style. Just like that, you’ve got a weeknight dinner party.

Wow-easy company dinner. Be sure to use kosher salt. If regular salt is used it will be way too salty.

What fish could be used in place of arctic char?

This recipe came together with very little effort and the end result was absolutely delicious EXCEPT it was way, way, WAY too salty. I questioned in my mind whether 1 TBS of salt was too much when I was putting it together, but decided to go with the recipe as written since there weren't any reviews yet and I'd never marinated and poached fish this way before. I should have gone with my instinct. Next time I make this I will use 1 tsp of salt, not a tablespoon. Otherwise it was fantastic!
