How to Cook Fish

BAKED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Cook together for twenty minutes two cupfuls of tomatoes, one cupful of water, a slice of onion, three cloves, and a teaspoonful of sugar. Cook together three tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, stir into the hot mixture, and cook until thick. Strain, and pour half of the sauce around two pounds of halibut placed on a buttered tin sheet. Bake for thirty-five minutes, basting often. Transfer to a hot platter and pour the remaining sauce around.
