2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 thin carrots, cut on the bias, 3/8 inch wide
1 1/2 leeks, whites only rinsed and julienned
6 two inch long French fingerling potatoes, cut into quarters
3 celery stalks, peeled and cut on the bias

Place a 12 inch cooking vessel over a medium flame. Add the butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
2
Add the carrots, leeks, celery, potatoes, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the leeks begin to wilt. Add the white wine, bay leaves and thyme. Let it evaporate by half.

Add the stock and bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.

Uncover and add the fish raise the heat to medium. Cover and steam the fish until done. About three to four minutes. The idea is to have the fish and vegetables be tender all at the same time, neither should be overcooked and mushy.
