Broiled Halibut.
1-1/2 pounds of halibut.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
1 teaspoonful of lemon juice.
1-1/2 teaspoonfuls of salt.
1/4 teaspoonful of pepper.
Have the halibut cut in a slice about an inch thick. Put half the butter, salt, and pepper in a hot soup plate, and stir until the butter is melted. Wash and wipe the fish, then lay it in the plate of seasoned butter. When one side is coated with the butter, turn it down and season the other. Dredge lightly with flour, place in the double-broiler, and cook over a hot, bright fire for fourteen minutes. Put on a hot dish and season with the remaining salt, pepper, butter, and the lemon juice, all mixed. Serve very hot.
