- 40 ordering a fish plank it is well to have the dimensions in pro- portion
Directions
Split open a firm white fish and remove the backbone (the head and tail should be cut off, with the fins, when it is cleaned). Spread with soft butter and dredge with flour, salt and pepper and lemon juice. Have the fish plank heated in a pan in the oven, place fish on it and bake about 15 minutes. Then remove and surround with the potatoes and return to a hot oven. From 20 to 30 minutes will be sufficient for the entire cooking, according to the thickness of the fish.
POTATO ROSES. Prepare mashed potatoes as usual, but with less cream or milk, and place in a pastry bag. Force through in the shape of roses (using, a star tube) all around the fish, brush lightly with the yolk of an egg mixed with a few spoonfuls of cream and brown quickly in the oven. Garnish with lemon and parsley and serve on the plank. In
ordering a fish plank it is well to have the dimensions in pro- portion to the platter on which it will be used, and if no large baking pan be on hand, the lower part of the gas broiler answers the purpose admirably. Mrs. E. C. Noe.
