In a large stockpot, combine 4 cups of water, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of salt. Stir well until dissolved and bring to a boil.

Carefully lower your firm white fish fillets into the boiling poaching liquid, reduce heat, cover, and poach for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

Using a slotted spatula, lift the poached fish and place it on a cutting board. Pat dry with paper towels.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and brush over the top of the fish fillets.

For added sophistication, broil the butter-brushed fillets for 1 minute until slightly browned.

Transfer the Poor Man's Lobster to a serving platter and serve warm with additional melted butter on the side.
