Directions

Add the leeks, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns, and salt to a small pot. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add in the fish. Add more water if the fish is not covered by at least 2/3rds. Cover, bring to a boil, and turn off the heat. Leave to steam on top of the stove for about 7-10 minutes or until the fish is opaque. Carefully remove the fish with a slotted spoon and, if desired, drizzle with a little olive oil. Eat with Basic White Rice and steamed vegetables.
