Baked Fresh Mackerel, Creole

Prepare and keep hot a Creole sauce. Cut the head off and neatly trim a three-pound fresh mackerel, split in two through back, remove spinal bone, place on a lightly buttered tin, season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon paprika; glaze surface of mackerel with a little melted butter, then set in oven to bake for fifteen minutes. Remove, arrange in a baking dish, pour the Creole sauce over, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top, and set in oven for fifteen minutes more. Remove, decorate all around with half a lemon finely sliced and a little parsley greens and serve.
