Have two slices of halibut cut half an inch thick; remove the skin and bone, thus securing eight fillets. Dip in melted butter; squeeze over them the juice of half a lemon, a little onion juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Commencing with the widest end, roll each fillet into a " turban" and fasten by running through each a buttered wooden toothpick. Bake about twenty minutes, basting with hot stock, or butter melted in hot water. Arrange crown shape on a serving-dish. Fill the centre with boiled potato balls dressed with salt, butter, and chopped parsley. Serve with Hollandaise or other fish sauce.
Prepare as above; baste during cooking with tomato sauce and serve with additional tomato sauce.
Prepare a cup of oyster forcemeat, quennelle, or cream, as desired. Spread the fillets with the forcemeat, then roll and bake as before. Or roll each fillet around a plump oyster, and then bake as usual. Let the fillets stand in a marinade an hour before rolling.
