01
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly without letting it brown.

Pour in the fish stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is fragrant.

Add the cod in a single layer and poach gently for 8 to 12 minutes, until the fish reaches 63°C (145°F) and flakes easily.
