My favourite way to fix any firm flesh fish is to take a pinch of fresh
herbs (parsley, dill, lovage, oregano, marjoram, thyme) and place the herbs
in a microwave tolerable platter. Rub the fish with salt and pepper, place
it on top of the herbs and pour over a mix of water and lemon juice and/or
white wine, which ever you happen to have handy. Place the herbed fish in
the microwave and cook for a few minutes, depending on your microwave effect
and the size of the fish. Serve with boiled potatoes. A tip: Keep the fish
warm while you're chopping the herbs in a food processor. Add a few almonds,
bit of oil and butter, mix a bit more and voila, you have tasty mixture to
top your fish with. Very easy, takes all 15-20 minutes from start to finish.
