|
|
DIRECTIONS
- Remove the head and tail, wash the fish thoroughly and split it lengthwise down the back.
- Grease the broiler or baking-pan thoroughly, open the fish, and place it flat on the broiler or baking-pan with the skin side down.
- Place the broiler or baking-pan in the lower oven, close to the flame, and cook for five minutes.
- Reduce the heat by turning the gas down or lowering the rack of the oven.
- Cook from twenty to forty minutes, depending upon the weight of the fish.
- With a long-handled fork and a pancake-turner, carefully lift the fish onto the hot platter, sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, put a few bits of butter on it, squeeze a little lemon juice over it, and garnish the platter with sprigs of parsley.
