Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large nonstick skillet, melt the margarine over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. When the margarine is bubbly, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 22 minutes, or until the celery is tender. Pour into a medium bowl.

    Step 2

    Place the fish in the skillet, trying not to overlap the fillets. Pour the sauce over the fish. Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with the salt.
