Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 sliced potato and 1 sliced carrot, cook for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Step 2
Add the 1 cup broccoli and 1 cup cauliflower, cook for 3 more minutes until all vegetables are fork-tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Step 3
In the same water, gently slide in the 1 fish fillet. Poach at a low simmer for 4-5 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Swirl the water, crack the 1 egg into the center, and cook for 3 minutes until the white is set but yolk is runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Plate the vegetables, top with the fish and poached egg. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if you have them.
