Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth and set aside for 3 hours to drain.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the celery root, parsnips, potatoes, thyme, salt, pepper and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Pour into a strainer set over a bowl and discard the milk. Push the vegetables through a ricer or food mill and set aside. (The vegetable puree can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days.) When the puree is cool, fold in the yogurt and chives.

  3. Step 3

    Coat the bottom of a baking dish, large enough the hold the fillets in one layer, with the butter. Lay the fillets in the dish, cover each with a quarter of the puree and bake until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with sweet carrots (see recipe).
