Add 3 cups of water, 1 teaspoon salt, lemon zest and turn the heat up to medium-high.Whisk in the cornmeal and cook for about 20 minutes making sure to stir frequently until it becomes creamy and thick (if too thick use some water to loosen)
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper, arrange in a 9x13 baking dish making sure to leave a space between each piece.
