3. Sprinkle fish with 1 ½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
4. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature.
5. Arrange half of lemon slices in 1 layer in an 8-inch square glass baking dish and arrange fish in 1 layer over lemon.
6. Top with all of capers, remaining lemon slices, and 3 tablespoons parsley, then pour oil over fish.

Roasted asparagus and spinach stuffed pierogi (available at Whole Foods) drizzled with pesto, olive oil and parmesan cheese make nice sides. Roasted fingerling potatoes are also good.

Wine could be a light, crisp Chardonnay or Riesling. Gewurztraminer would also work.

For dessert, pineapple cake, fruit or ice cream.
