Boiled Fish (With Onion and Garlic)

Put a piece of oiled paper in the bottom of a fish pan; on it place a large fish that has been cleaned and skinned.

Add a sliced onion, two cloves of garlic and sufficient salted water to cover. Boil until done. Take it up and squeeze over it the juice of a lemon. Boil two eggs hard, chop the whites fine and sift the yolks. Cut cold boiled beets in fancy shapes. Put a row of the chopped whites of eggs down the middle of the fish, on each side of that a row of the yolks and next the yolks a row of the beets. Over all pour a French dressing of oil and vinegar and a drop of mayonnaise on each piece of beet. Garnish the dish with leaves from the heart of a lettuce.
