    In a medium size skillet just large enough to hold fish in single layer, heat oil over LOW heat. add herbs and garlic. keep heat low enough so as to infuse it with herbs. do not brown garlic. may be done ahead of time. when ready, add fish. keep heat LOW so as to gently poach fish. cook until done 4-6 minutes. squeeze lemon juice over dish and serve.

notes

any fish will work. the trick is to keep the heat low so as not to fry fish. good with polenta and fresh tomato sauce
