Halibut, St. Augustine

Procure two slices very fresh halibut of one and a half pounds each. Slice exceedingly fine three small white onions, place them in a frying pan with half ounce melted butter and carefully cook without browning for six minutes, frequently stirring meanwhile. Place the steaks in the pan over the onions. Season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper. Peel and cut into quarters four medium red tomatoes and place around the fish. Cover the fish with a lightly buttered paper, cover the pan, place on the fire and boil for five minutes. Set the pan in the oven and bake for fifteen minutes. Remove, lift up the paper, take up the fish with a skimmer, dress on a dish, pour all the contents of the pan over the halibut and serve.
