Instructions

1
Make the gelatin egg: sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes, until the mixture is fully absorbed and gel-like. Set aside.
2
Poach the fish: place the cod fillets in a large skillet, cover with cold water by about 1 inch, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily when pressed with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Transfer to a plate and let cool for 5 minutes, then flake into small pieces with a fork, discarding any liquid.
