Broiled Halibut

From an
1897
cook book
~~~~~~~~

.

Take 1 slice of Halibut
cut from the tail end of the Fish,
but not the extreme end.
In a tin baking pan,
lay a few slices of Onion,
and a bit of Bay Leaf.
After the Fish has been wiped
with a clean damp cloth,
spread 1 side with Butter
and lay the Buttered side on the Onion,
sprinkle with Salt
and set in the broiling oven,
and WATCH IT CAREFULLY.
If necessary turn it without breaking,
and when nearly done,
spread with a mixture of
melted Butter thickened with Bread Crumbs,
and let brown.
Serve in a platter,
garnished with Parsley.
If Onion is not liked, it can be omitted.
