Add in cooled broth, a little at a time, to the flour and butter mix, while stirring. Slowly add in cream while stirring. Add in cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue stirring till sauce is warm and smooth.
  4. Pour sauce over fish in baking dish. Place baking dish under a pre-heated broiler and broil till sauce is lightly browned and bubbly.
  5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  6. Comments: Poaching is a great way to keep cooked fish moist and flavorful. Food is gently cooked in liquid just below the boiling point. You can poach fish in a covered pan on the stovetop or possibly in the oven as in this recipe. I've used this recipe with whole dressed fish and fillets of halibut and sea bass.
