Also add two ounces of butter, cover, and simmer in oven until soft. Be careful that it does not burn. Drain off the butter, add one quart of consommé, and boil for ten minutes.

Put two slices of salmon, about one and one-half inches thick, in a flat buttered pan, season with salt and pepper, add one-half glass of white wine and one-half cup of fish stock, cover with buttered paper, and cook in oven for twenty minutes. Then put the fish on a platter and keep hot. Pour over the fish a sauce made as follows: Heat two ounces of butter in a casserole, add one spoonful of flour and one of curry powder, and heat through. Then add the broth the fish was cooked in, and one pint of fish stock, and boil for ten minutes. Bind with the yolks of two eggs and one-half cup of cream. Strain, put back in the casserole, and whip one ounce of fresh butter into it. When the butter is melted it is ready to pour over the fish. Garnish the fish with fleurons.
