The recipe Fish with Tomato Sauce has rarity value and certainly finds a fan community. The fish is a hake fillet and I poach it into smoked tea.

Poaching in the smoked tea is something new, the fish gets a fine, light smoke aroma.

Because I like to experiment with superfoods I add cannabis seeds. Hemp seeds are excellent with tomato sauce and tomato stock and go well with basil.

In the description I give you again some tips for variations. You can also fry the hake but you will miss the good taste of the smoked tea! The video fish in tomato sauce shows everything step by step!

I am happy if you try it out, wish you good luck! Please share this post on Facebook with your friends.

CAUTION Use hemp and canabis seed only if permitted by law in your home country.

1. How to prepare Fish in Tomato Sauce

I’m not a real fan of this combination, so I experimented and tried a little longer. In my opinion, a thick tomato sauce doesn’t go so well with fish, so I prepared a light tomato stock with lots of basil. The fish is a hake, but you can also prepare this recipe with cod or halibut. As an exception I poach the fish and don’t fry it, but I would like to leave it open for you and describe both preparation steps.

2. How to fry Fish in Butter and Olive Oil

If you prefer not to do the poaching, fry the hake fillet in a pan. Wash the hake fillet, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Then fry in a hot pan with butter (25g) and olive oil (1EL) on all sides and leave to infuse.

3. How to poach Fish – good Idea with smoked Tea Aroma

The tea Lapsang Souchong is a smoked tea. It tastes very strong and is therefore suitable for my fish preparation. The fish takes on a delicate aroma from the tea and it is an extraordinary thing. The taste is supported by the fine acidity of the tomato sauce/tomato stock, the hemp seeds offer a crunchy experience with a light nutty finish. I have published another recipe Poach fish, to the recipe Poach cod with chanterelles.

4. How to prepare Tomato Sauce for Fish

The presented tomato sauce is a light and fine tomato stock. The fresher the tomatoes, the better the dish in combination with the fish.

For tomato sauce there is another recipe from me, you should definitely have a look at it. For the fish, however, I think the following recipe is better.

5. Side dishes for poached Fish in Tomato Sauce

I serve a baguette, a herb baguette or a garlic baguette with my fish in tomato sauce. It is also possible to use neutrally boiled rice and a strongly marinated leaf salad.

6. How to poach Fish

Poaching means letting it simmer under the boiling point. The poaching brew is usually boiled up, the food to be poached is placed in the boiling liquid and the pot is pulled away from the stove.

The temperature range is then 80-95°C and the food to be cooked, in my case a hake fillet, can be cooked gently.
