Cod Poached In Cider - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Put the butter in a small skillet and turn the heat to medium.
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.
Turn off the heat.
Transfer the onion to a flameproof ceramic or nonstick baking dish just large enough to contain the fish.
Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and put it over the onion.
Pour the cider around all and bring to a boil on top of the stove.
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).
Garnish with parsley and serve the fish with onion and juices spoon over it.
