- Place the fish in a heavy baking dish so they have plenty of room.
Pour the wine and water into the pan so it measures about halfway up
the fish; it shouldn't cover them.
- Spread 1 tablespoon butter over each fillet; sprinkle with salt,
pepper, and herbs, and add the bay leaf to the liquid.
- Bake the fish at 375 degrees. Thinner fillets take 8 to 10 minutes,
larger thicker fillets, 10 to 12 minutes. The fish is done when it
flakes in the center when probed with a sharp knife.
- Using a spatula, remove the fish to a plate. Dab the plate with a
paper towel to remove excess liquid. Top the fish with your favorite
sauce.
