Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion - cut into slices like Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla

- If desired, rinse the fish. Pat dry. Season generously with fresh cracked pepper. If desired, add a little kosher salt
- Lay fish steaks on top of onion slices. Add wine and rosemary sprigs. Lower heat slightly. Top with the last of the butter.
- Baste the fish with the melted butter and add lemon juice
