- 3/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 tsp. thyme leaves

In pan fitted with rack + cover, bring water to boil along with wine, thyme, parsley + bay leaf; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. With skin side up, lightly sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper, lemon juice, a little butter, and a little chopped dill. Roll up each filet crosswise, then place on a rack. Cover pan; steam about 5 min. Carefully remove fish to a warm platter and keep warm. Strain broth discarding herbs. Return broth to pan, along with chopped vegetables.

mom's notes
I just used whatever fish we had in the freezer and chopped celery (or maybe bok choy) onions and a little green pepper for the veggies. The sauce made it pretty special.
