A perfect summer dinner with a tomato salad!

Loved this! I’ll be poaching other fish in wine as this was so simple. The horseradish sauce was a little too thick and rich for me, as TJ didn’t have any organic low-fat sour cream, so for the leftovers, I plan to thin it with o. buttermilk. But this method is a keeper!

Unbelievably easy and delicious.
