Baked Halibut With Lobster Sauce Recipe

 Instructions
1. Take a thick cut of halibut, let it lie in salted water for half an hour, then drain and dry it, and put it in the baking-pan with 2 slices of carrot, a slice of onion, and 1/2 a bay leaf.
2. Pour over it a cup of boiling water in which have been melted 2 tablespoons of butter.
3. Bake for an hour, basting frequently.
A piece of buttered writing paper laid in the bottom of the pan will prevent the fish from 4. sticking and breaking in transferring it to the hot platter.
By running a knife or spatula under the paper it can be raised and slid off from the pan, and
5. the paper can then be withdrawn and the skin removed, leaving the fish in shape.
