Let’s make it.

Soften onion in butter over medium-low heat for five minutes.
Add potatoes and stock, then simmer 15 minutes until potatoes are nearly tender.
Add milk and fish, keeping the liquid at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil.
Cook until fish reaches 63°C / 145°F, about five to eight minutes. Season and serve promptly.
