Cook thickest fish to 70°C, extending source timing; make sauce with the actual strained fish liquor volume, not an invented stock amount. Limites : Sole anatomy/fillet count, actual edible mass and pieces, butter for pan/paper, fish liquor yield/sauce thickness, oven temperature, wine product, safe fish endpoint time and diners unmeasured. No fish cooked.
