ANNE SERANNE'S SHAD ROE POACHED IN BUTTER

Steps:

• Trim off excess membranes. Do not split pair of roe in half although they may separate as they cook. Puncture roe in several places with pin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Melt butter in small skillet or casserole with tight-fitting lid. Add roe, cover and let cook over gentle heat about 3 minutes. Using spatula, carefully turn roe. Re-cover and let simmer 8 or 10 minutes on second side.
• If roe has not split, divide carefully. Transfer pieces to 2 hot serving plates. Spoon a little butter over each. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
