This easy-to-make fish is meltingly tender and not at all oily. Leaving the skin on helps hold the fish together while poaching. Previously frozen fish doesn't work well in this cooking method because it releases too much liquid. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the liquid.

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme, or parsely
  • 4 fresh salmon or halibut fillets, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick (each 6 oz/175 g)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 cup toasted, sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Peel lemons, cutting away white pith. Thinly slice crosswise, removing as many seeds as possible. Arrange half of the slices in single layer in 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish; top with thyme.

Arrange fish snugly, in single layer, on lemons; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with remaining lemons; sprinkle with almonds and capers. Pour oil over top.

Bake, uncovered, in centre of 250°F (120°C) oven for about 50 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested.

Serve fish with some of the lemons, thyme, almonds and capers. Spoon about 2 tbsp (25 mL) oil mixture over each serving.
