This was very easy and very good. For two people, I made it with one pound of skate (2 skate wings), half a sliced onion, 3 sprigs of parsley, 1/2 sliced lemon, 1 tsp. peppercorns, 1 Tbl. white wine vinegar, a little over 1 Tbl. of butter and 1 Tbl. of capers. Simmering the skate for 8 minutes seemed sufficient.
It was luscious like lobster.
Delicious and easy - will make it again.
