2 lb. fresh or frozen fish fillets
2 C. water
1/4 C. lemon juice
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. salt
3 peppercorns
2 fresh parsley
1 bay leaf

Thaw fish if frozen. Remove skin and bones from fillets. Cut fish into serving size portions. Combine water, lemon juice, onion, salt, peppercorns, parsley, and bay leaf in a well-greased frying pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Place fish in a single layer into hot liquid. Cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Carefully remove fish to a hot platter.
