Broiled Halibut

Use three tablespoons of butter for each pound of broiled halibut.

Cut some slices from a halibut, dust over salt and pepper, place them in a dish, cover with warm butter and leave for half an hour. Roll them in flour and broil over a very clear fire for twelve or fifteen minutes. Place them on a dish with a garnish of parsley and slices of lemon and serve. The slices of halibut should be about one inch thick, and three tablespoonfuls of butter may be used for every pound weight of fish.
