  1. Trim the fish and put into a buttered baking-pan, sprinkling with chopped mushrooms, parsley, and grated onion.

  3. Take up the fish and add the drained liquid to a cupful of Allemande Sauce and reheat.
  4. Take from the fire, add a tablespoonful of butter, the juice of half a lemon, and a teaspoonful of minced parsley.
  5. Pour over the fish and serve.
