BAKED HALIBUT:

Because of its size, halibut is cut into slices and sold in the form of
steaks.

Halibut slices are often sauted, but they make a delicious dish when
baked with tomatoes and flavored with onion, lemon, and bay leaf.

2 c. tomatoes

Few slices onion

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

2 thin slices bacon

1 Tb. flour

2 lb. halibut steak

Heat the tomatoes, onion, and bay leaf in water.

Add the salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes.

Cut the bacon into small squares, try it out in a pan, and into this
fat stir the flour. Pour this into the hot mixture, remove the bay
leaf, and cook until the mixture thickens.

Put the steaks into a baking dish, pour the sauce over them, and bake in a
slow oven for about 45 minutes.

Remove with the sauce to a hot platter and serve
