Cod Poached In Cider

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, sliced
• salt
• black pepper
• 1 1/2-2 lbs cod fish fillets, about 1 inch thick, in 1 to 2 pieces (or red snapper)
• 2 cups dry sparkling apple cider
• chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400°.
• 2 put the butter in a small skillet and turn the heat to medium.
• 3 add the onion and a sprinkling of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not yet beginning to brown.
• 4 turn off the heat.
• 5 transfer the onion to a flameproof ceramic or nonstick baking dish just large enough to contain the fish.
• 6 sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and put it over the onion.
• 7 pour the cider around all and bring to a boil on top of the stove.
• 8 cover with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is done (a thin-bladed knife inserted into its center will meet little resistance).
• 9 garnish with parsley and serve the fish with onion and juices spoon over it.
