Preparation
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring frequently, until golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in water and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until onion is softened, about 1 minute. Stir in butter until melted, then stir in capers and lemon juice. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
Step 2
Preheat broiler.
Step 3
Pat fish dry, then brush all over with remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put fillets, skin sides down, on rack of a broiler pan and broil about 5 inches from heat until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Serve fish topped with onion mixture and sprinkled with parsley.
