4 fish fillets, such as salmon, halibut or sea bass, about 1 lb (total).
2 cups olive oil, or broth if you prefer
3 sprigs thyme
1 clove garlic, halved
1 teaspoon salt
Ground pepper
4 large red potatoes, peeled, cut in chunks
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup milk
Prepared horseradish sauce
Chopped thyme or other herbs, such as tarragon, cilantro or mint
Place fish in a Dutch oven in a single layer; pour oil over fish just to cover. Add thyme and garlic. Heat over medium heat to a low simmer, about 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Reduce heat to low. Gently poach fish until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove with slotted spatula to a platter. Season with teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes; cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain; mash coarsely. Mash in butter until melted. Stir in milk until almost smooth. Season with remaining teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Divide potatoes among 4 plates. Top with fish. Drizzle horseradish sauce over fish. Garnish with parsley or other herbs.
