Instructions
Pat the fish dry. If using a flat white fish, tuck the thin ends under the fish. This is done so the thickness of the fish is all the same. Whatever fish you are using place in a microwavable dish,
Drizzle some oil on the fish. Season with salt, pepper, parsley, and sprinkle some lemon juice on the fish. Add a little water or wine around the fish. Cover with plastic wrap.
Place in microwave and set timer for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Remove and be careful lifting the wrap as steam will escape. Test fish to see that is done to your liking. If not put it back for only a few seconds as this method of cooking is very fast.
