Poached Cod with Lemon and Capers

2 or 3 green onions, cut into 2 inch long pieces
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, cut lengthwise into thin slices
2 Tbsp capers, drained well
1 carrot, cut into thin matchstick pieces
4 (4 oz.) cod fillets
2 lemons

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté three minutes. Add capers and sauté one minute. Add carrot and cook two minutes. Stir in green onions. Spread vegetables evenly over bottom of skillet. Lay cod on the vegetables in skillet. Add a small amount of water just to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cover and cook until fish is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes. Gently transfer fish to a serving platter. Top with vegetables and capers. Just before serving, squeeze the lemons over the entire dish.
