Codfish, Espagnole

Procure three slices fresh codfish, three-quarters of a pound each. Place in a frying pan two small, finely minced green peppers and one finely minced white onion with half ounce butter and let gently brown for three minutes, lightly stirring with a fork; then place the fish over. Season with a teaspoon salt, half teaspoon white pepper, and a saltspoon Spanish saffron diluted in a tablespoon water. Peel and cut into quarters three good-sized red tomatoes and place all around the fish; cover with a sheet of lightly buttered paper and set in the oven to bake for twenty-five minutes. Remove, lift up the paper, place the fish on a hot dish, remove the spinal bones, pour the contents of the pan over the fish, sprinkle a teaspoon of chopped parsley over all and serve.
