Fish in White Sauce
receipt_long
Instructions
- 1
Flake up cold boiled halibut and set the plate into the steamer, that the fish may heat without drying.
- 2
Boil the bones and skin of the fish with a slice of onion and a _very_ small piece of red pepper; a bit of this the size of a kernel of coffee will make the sauce quite as hot as most persons like it.
- 3
Boil this stock down to half a pint; thicken with one teaspoonful of butter and one teaspoonful of flour, mixed together.
- 4
Add one drop of extract of almond.
- 5
Pour this sauce over your halibut and stick bits of parsley over it.
