Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Add broccolini when about 4 minutes remain.
Season lightly with salt towards the end and keep the vegetables warm.
Bring a large pot of water and salt to a boil.
Lower the heat so the water barely simmers.
Carefully place the cod in the water.
Let the fish poach for 8 to 10 minutes, until it flakes easily.
Lift the fish out with a slotted spoon and let it drain well.
Bring the cream for the sauce to a boil and reduce by about half.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Whisk in cold butter in cubes, little by little.
Season with lemon juice and a little salt if needed.
Serve the cod with butter fried cauliflower, broccolini and butter sauce.

Lightly salted cod has mild saltiness and firm texture that suits butter sauce and vegetables well. Gentle poaching lets the fish flake neatly without becoming dry. Cauliflower and broccolini add mild sweetness, green freshness and contrast to the rounded sauce.
