I have done this a few times and it turned out delicious! This method basically poaches the fish, which preserves some of the good fats on the fish. I usually put some salt, pepper, lemon slices and a sprig of some herb (thyme or rosemary) in the foil with it. Sometimes I would use some other seasoning or a bit of garlic.

I learned this method from the Surreal Gourmet (as mentioned in the article) as a teenager and gave it a try soon after. It came in handy when I went off to college, because it didn't stink up the apartment and bother the roommates.

If you try it, be sure to use a full, normal cycle. Energy saving and other modes might not get up to the right temperature.
