<RecipeText>Poaching the Fish
Place the fish in an enameled or stainless-steel saucepan with the vermouth &amp; enough cold water to cover. Add shollots &amp; seasonings. Simmer uncovered for about 6 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through; remove fish to a side dish. Rapidly boil down cooking liquid until you have about 1/2 cup; reserve half for the souffle mixture &amp; the rest for the sauce.

The Souffle Mixture
Cook the butter &amp; flour together in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan for 2 minutes without coloring.  Remove from heat. Beat in the hot milk with a wire whip, then 1/4 cup of the fish-cooking liquid. Bring to a boil, itrring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Beat in the egg yolk. Stir in one fourth of the egg whites, then delicately fold in the rest of the egg whites &amp; all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese.

Baking the Souffle
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter an oval fireproof platter about 16 inches long. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of souffle mixture in the bottom of the platter. Flake the poached fish fillets &amp; divide into 6 portions on the platter. Heap the rest of the souffle mixture over the fish, making 6 mounds. Spinkle with the remaining cheese &amp; set on rack in upper third of preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until souffle has puffed &amp; browned on top. Serve immediately with the Hollandaise sauce.

Hollandaise with Cream
Blend the fish stock, cream &amp; egg yolks in a 6-cup enameled saucepan with a wire whip. Then stir over low heat until mixture slowly thickens into a light cream that coats the wires of the whip - be careful not to overheat or the egg yolks will scramble, but you must heat them enough to thicken. Remove from heat &amp; at once begin to beat in the butter, a tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt, pepper &amp; drops of lemon juice. Keep over tepid - not hot - water until ready to use.
