    To prepare the fish, heat the oven to 400°. Put six 12-inch squares of aluminum foil on a work surface and rub liberally with butter.
  • 2
    Put a few slices of onion, lemon, and a sprig of thyme on the center of each square of foil. Place the each fish fillet over the onion/lemon/herb. Sprinkle the fillets with salt the pepper. Top with slices of onion and lemon. Gather the foil around the fish and drizzle the fish with the wine and oil. Fold the edges of the foil to make a sealed package. Put the foil packages on a baking sheet.
