Pan Steamed Lemon Butter Fish

This is a fantastic and easy-to-put-together dish that ensures your fish will be moist and flavourful. I like leaving the skin on my lemons when I eat them cooked (Mediterranean style) but if you'd like yours toned down a bit, simply remove the skin from the slices before putting them in the pan. I used sole fish here but you can use any fish you like.
