Cod Poached In Cider

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°.
2. 2
   Put the butter in a small skillet and turn the heat to medium.
3. 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. 4
   Turn off the heat.
5. 5
   Transfer the onion to a flameproof ceramic or nonstick baking dish just large enough to contain the fish.
6. 6
   Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and put it over the onion.
7. 7
   Pour the cider around all and bring to a boil on top of the stove.
8. 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. 9
   Garnish with parsley and serve the fish with onion and juices spoon over it.
