Polynesian Poaching

2-3 cans coconut milk
1-2 inches fresh unpeeled ginger, scrubbed and thinly sliced into 1/8” thickness
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced in half
3 – 1” segments of fresh lemongrass or 3 drops lemongrass essential oil
Approximately 1.5 lb. cod or other flaky white fish – cut into 1”or 2” pieces
1⁄4 cup GF Tamari sauce or Coconut Aminos which is soy-free
3 scallions finely sliced
1⁄4 cup minced cilantro

In large saucepan or pot with lid, heat coconut milk, ginger, garlic, soy sauce or tamarin sauce, and lemongrass until boiling.
Reduce heat, cover, and allow to simmer for ~30 minutes.
Add fish, cover, and poach until done (typically about 45 min.); test occasionally to ensure you don’t overcook and make it tough. Fish should be quite tender and pieces fall apart with gentle prodding.
Add scallions and let simmer one minute. Sprinkle cilantro on top.
Remember to take out the lemongrass because it is not edible.
