Steps:
- Put the mustard in mixing bowl and slowly whisk in 1 cup of the Vinaigrette. Whisk in the shallot. Put in a small saucepan and set aside. Bring the court bouillon to a boil in a 10-inch pot. Season the halibut with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the halibut to the pot and adjust the heat so the liquid just simmers. Poach until a metal skewer inserted into the center of the halibut meets only a little resistance and the skewer, when left in the fish for 5 seconds, feels barely warm when touched to your lip, about 5 to 6 minutes. The halibut should be rare (thinner steaks will be ready sooner). Take the steaks out ot the liquid as soon as they are done (discard the court bouillon). In a small saute pan with 1 tablespoon butter, saute leeks until tender. Meanwhile, add the herbs to the Vinaigrette and warm over low heat. Pull the skin off the halibut and place in the center of 4 plates. Spoon the Vinaigrette over and around the fish. Serve immediately, with steamed asparagus.
- Whisk together the mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegars. Whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil and then the corn oil. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine the vinegar, the oil, the shallot, and salt and pepper to taste. In a small bowl combine well the mint, the basil, and the parsley and on each of 2 plates mound one fourth of the herb mixture. In a deep skillet bring 1 inch of salted water to a boil, add the scrod, skinned sides down, and poach it, covered, at a bare simmer for 8 minutes, or until it just flakes. Transfer each fillet with a slotted spatula, blotting it with paper towels and reserving the cooking liquid, to a bed of herbs and top the scrod with the remaining herb mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking liquid to the vinegar mixture, bring the mixture to a boil, and spoon it over the scrod.
POACHED CHICKEN, CRUNCHY VEGETABLES, AND HERB DRESSING
I used to be put off poaching chicken as I feared it was more complicated than my simple fried version. But it's actually much easier, because while the chicken poaches you can prepare the rest of the food. These days I often poach 3 or 4 chicken breasts at a time, then keep them in the fridge so I can toss them into salads over the following days. Poaching really helps to keep the moisture in the meat, so the end result is much more enjoyable than dried, overcooked chicken.

Steps:
- For the dressing:
- Drain and rinse the almonds in fresh cold water, then pound them with the herbs, the garlic clove and a little salt. Slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture, stirring to combine.
- For the chicken:
- Put the chicken breasts into a pan of cold water with the reserved herb stalks (from the dressing), the garlic and the salt. Bring the water to a simmer, turn off the heat and immediately cover the pan. Allow the chicken to sit in the hot poaching liquor for 20 minutes, until cooked through.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then cool under cold running water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Preheat the broiler. Shave the fennel bulb with a mandolin or peeler into this slices and do the same with the carrot and zucchini. Add to the beans. Put the tomatoes on a non-stick baking sheet and under a preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add to the bowl.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the poaching liquor. Thinly slice them and add to the bowl of vegetables. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken and vegetables between plates and serve with the herb dressing and lemon wedges.
HERBED VINAIGRETTE
This simple vinegar and oil dressing is seasoned with three herbs for robust flavor. "We like balsamic vinegar , so we often use it in place of wine vinegar as a nice change of pace," reports Mildred Sherrer of Bay City, Texas.

BAKED SCROD WITH LEMON HERB PANKO CRUMBS
Wicked Good! The crunchy panko crumbs bring new life to this traditional New England favorite. I like baking the fish in the individual dishes, it keeps the fish moist and keeps the juices from drying up. After you make your way through the crunchy topping and flaky fish, you'll be surprised to find this delicious oniony, lemon goodness awaiting on the bottom which is absolutely incredible. I hope you try this recipe, it really is Wicked Good!

Steps:
- Place all the ingredients for the court bouillon, along with 2 quarts of water, in a large skillet or small fish poacher. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Submerge the fish in the cooled bouillon. If there is not enough liquid to cover the fish by at least one inch, add water to cover. Return to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and poach for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand in liquid about 5 minutes longer before serving. Do not overcook.
- To make the vinaigrette sauce, place the mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, shallots, garlic and chervil in a blender or a very fast food processor.
- As mixture blends, pour the oil through the opening of the cover. Blend well. If sauce is too thick, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. Adjust the seasonings.

ERIC'S POACHED HALIBUT IN WARM HERB VINAIGRETTE
Fresh halibut should be ivory-colored, translucent, and shiny. If it has been frozen, it tends to be opaque and very white. Halibut is usually sold as steaks (which poach well) but can also be found as fillets. Chef Eric Ripert shares his recipe for poached halibut.

Steps:
- Place mustard in a medium mixing bowl, and slowly whisk in vinaigrette. Add shallots. Transfer to a small saucepan, and set aside.
- In a 10-inch saucepan over high heat, bring bouillon to a boil. Season both sides of the halibut with salt and pepper. Add halibut to the pot, and adjust the heat until the liquid simmers. Poach for 5 to 6 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the fish meets little resistance or when left in the fillet for 5 seconds, the cake tester is warm to your lip. The halibut will be rare (thinner steaks will poach in less time). Transfer the steaks to a warm plate, and set aside.
- Add herbs to the vinaigrette, and warm over low heat. Remove the skin from the halibut, and place one steak in the center of each plate. Spoon vinaigrette over and around the fish. Serve immediately.
