Remove the tough outer leaves and trim the outside of the stalk with a paring knife.
Add the prepped artichokes to the bowl of lemon water to keep them from browning while they are cooking.
Slice the remaining lemon.
In a baking dish large enough to place the artichokes in 1 even layer , place the slices in the dish to form a bed for the artichokes.
