Poaching fish in olive oil is a revelation.  This technique is used mostly in the Mediterranean, the olive oil producing region of the world.  The olive oil keeps the fish moist and imparts a wonderful fruity flavor.  Be sure to poach the fish on low heat because you want to cook the fish slowly rather than fry it.  Serve this with a light green salad and you'll have a refreshing lunch or dinner in no time.

I love doing this with Tuna, but it's important to do at a low temperature, e.g. 120 and not overcook.
