Ingredients

Poached White Sturgeon

Velouté Sauce

Cauliflower Purée

Potato Purée

Chow-Chow

Preparation

Poached White Sturgeon

1. Prepare the Poaching Liquid

In a large saucepan, combine water, white wine, salt, and fresh dill. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

2. Poach the Sturgeon

Once the poaching liquid is simmering, gently place the white sturgeon fillets into the pan. Cover and poach for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Velouté Sauce

3. Sauté Shallots

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

4. Make a Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed shallots and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to form a roux.

5. Add Stock and Cream

Gradually whisk in the fish stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and season with salt and white pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Cauliflower Purée

6. Cook Cauliflower

Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.

7. Blend the Purée

In a blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Potato Purée

8. Prepare Potatoes

Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into even-sized pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

9. Make the Purée

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

10. Plate the Dish

On a plate, create a base with the cauliflower purée, followed by a dollop of potato purée. Place the poached sturgeon on top. Drizzle the velouté sauce around the fish, and add a spoonful of chow-chow on the side. Garnish with fish roe.
