MICROWAVED FISH FILLETS WITH LEMON AND PARSLEY:




1 lb. sole, Pacific perch, snapper or cod fillets

2 tsp. butter, melted

2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

1 tbsp. lemon juice

salt and pepper



Place fillets in lightly oiled microwave-safe dish in single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Combine butter, parsley and lemon juice and drizzle mixture over fish. Cover with plastic wrap. Turn back corners of wrap or make large slits in the plastic wrap to vent for steam. Microwave on high for 3 ½ to 4 ½ minutes; check for doneness after 4 minutes.

Alternately, bake fish in preheated 450 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, or 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fish. If fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, it is done.
