preparation
1. For the sauce, melt 3 tablespoons (40 g) of the unsalted butter in a shallow pan. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and leek, and cook over a high heat, stirring, until nicely colored. Take the pan off the heat and add the whisky and balsamic vinegar. Return to the heat and boil away to almost nothing. Add 4 cups (1 liter) of the fish stock and the dried porcini mushrooms, bring to a boil, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, put the dried morel mushrooms and the remaining fish stock into a small pan. Bring to a boil, then take off the heat and let soak for 20 minutes, or until soft. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid, and slice the mushrooms into rounds.
3. Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a clean pan and add the reserved mushroom-soaking liquid. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly until reduced to about 3/4 cup (175 ml) and well concentrated in flavor. Keep warm.
4. Meanwhile, for the green onion mash, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until tender.
5. Brush each piece of hake with melted butter and put them, skin-side up, on the rack of the broiler pan. Sprinkle the skin with a few sea salt flakes and some coarsely crushed black pepper. Preheat the broiler.
6. Broil the hake, 4 inches (10 cm) from the heat, for 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes and, when the steam has died down, return them to the pan. Mash until smooth. Heat the butter in another pan, add the green onions, and turn them over in the butter for a few seconds. Beat them into the potato with a little milk and some salt and white pepper to taste. Keep warm.
7. Whisk the remaining butter, the chopped herb celery or celery tops, and some seasoning to taste into the sauce, then stir in the sliced morel mushrooms.
8. Spoon the green onion mash into the center of four warmed plates and put the hake on top. Spoon the sauce around the outside of the plates and serve.
