Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine

 Annie (Maryland) says:
This is a lovely recipe--I did it with only two whiting fillets (and am trying it with haddock tonight), and added two thinly sliced carrots and 3-4 cloves of minced garlic. I am a little puzzled as to the "discard celery and onion" direction, however--they are absolutely delicious served as a side dish with the fish. I served this over egg noodles that had been tossed with lemon, sauteed garlic, and butter, and it was lovely.
