Can the fish fish-not-shellfish be poached on the stovetop as well, or will the technique not work?

Thanks! it's going on the Friday night menu! Next to the genius lentils.

Food 52er aargersi won a Whole Foods Market cooking contest with this poached halibut and fennel recipe. The fish is poached in fennel and citrus flavored olive oil on the stove top. I made this a few weeks ago, and I can attest that it is super delicious! http://boulder.wholefoodsmarketcooking.com/recipes/14175_olive_oil_poached_halibut_and_fennel

I think if you kept the heat very, very low and basted frequently, it would work fine!
