steamed Baltic fish in an aromatic sauce

Peel the carrots and trim the spring onions. Slice the carrots, then cut the spring onions into approximately 2 cm thick pieces. Wash the fish fillet. For the sauce, peel the onion and finely dice it, then finely slice the trimmed spring onions. Separate the dill stems, roughly chop the stems, and chop the dill. Bring the vegetable stock and dill stems to a boil in a saucepan. Cook the carrot slices for 5 minutes, then add the spring onions after 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the fish fillets. The fish fillets should be covered with stock; if there is still a bit more, add more. Stop the stock from boiling. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the frying fat in a pan, fry the onions and spring onions, stir in the flour, and fry lightly, but do not allow to brown. Pour in the white wine and reduce slightly while stirring. Gradually add some of the stock from the steamed fish. Stir in the crème fraîche and green peppercorns and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir the sauce frequently. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more stock. Stir in the mustard and dill and season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Add the cooked fish fillet and carrot slices and let simmer for another 2 minutes. I made a beetroot and potato puree from user movostu’s CK database: http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/2828901434888974/Rote-Bete-Kartoffelpueree.html. This goes perfectly with it, but regular boiled potatoes and a leaf salad also work. Tip: If you can’t find cod fillet, you can also use cod. Cod is the name given to cod that has not yet reached sexual maturity, meaning they are simply different names for the same species of fish, in this case Gadus morhua. The smaller cod living in the Baltic Sea are all called cod.
