Drop leek and parsley into a large saucepan of boiling water, and cook for
1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain well. Combine leek
mixture, potato, tarragon, and chives in a bowl, and stir well. Sprinkle
salt and pepper over both sides of fillets, and pat the potato mixture onto
one side of each fillet. Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over potato mixture.
Heat 1-1/2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Place 3 fillets, potato sides down, in skillet; cook 4 minutes (do
not turn). Remove fillets from skillet, and place fillets, potato sides up,
on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining
oil and fish fillets.
Bake at 450 degrees for 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested
with a fork. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 fish fillet and 1/2 cup
succotash).

NOTES : From Chef Erik Maillard of Mark's, The Mark Hotel. Located in the
luxury Mark Hotel off Madison Avenue, Mark's is one of New York's most
elegant dining rooms. Considered a true culinary artist, Erik Maillard
combines classical French training with American-style ingenuity. A native
of the Boulogne-sur-Mer region of France, he was the executive sous-chef at
New York's Le Cirque and Restaurant Raphael and chef de cuisine at Les
Celebrites. Chef's note: "This fish preparation is delicious with red
snapper, orange roughy, or salmon. The secret is not to overcook the fish.
You can 'shoestring' the potatoes on a mandoline [a hand-operated slicer]
or cut them carefully by hand. For extra color and flavor, add black beans
or corn to the succotash."
