Cut the fish fillets into fairly large portions.

Sprinkle with salt and set aside for about 2 hours.

Peel and slice the onions.  Separate into rings. 

Layer the fish portions and onion rings in a deep 3l (12 cups) microwave dish.

Mix the remaining ingredients and add to the fish and onion rings.  Cover the dish with clingwrap.
