Sole Au Four

With a sharp knife make a light incision around the head of a three-pound fresh flounder, then with a towel pull off skin. Season with a teaspoon salt and half a teaspoon paprika, lightly roll in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in freshly prepared bread crumbs. Lightly butter a baking dish, place in sole, pour one and a half tablespoons melted butter over, then set in oven for twenty-five minutes, being careful to baste fish with butter once in a while. Bring it to oven door, turn, squeeze in juice of half a lemon, sprinkle over a half teaspoon freshly chopped parsley, reset in oven for twenty minutes more, basting it frequently, remove and send to table.
