BAKED HALIBUT STEAKS—II

Wash the steaks and soak for an hour in olive-oil and lemon-juice. Put into a buttered baking-dish, sprinkle with minced onion and parsley, and pour over a Cream Sauce, using white stock instead of milk, if preferred. Put a layer of flaked cooked halibut into a buttered baking-dish, season with salt, pepper, and grated nutmeg, add a layer of chopped mushrooms and a few tablespoonfuls of the sauce. Repeat until the dish is full, having sauce on top. Sprinkle with crumbs, dot with butter, and brown in the oven.
