BAKED HALIBUT

Because of its size, halibut is cut into slices and sold in the form of steaks.
Halibut slices are often sauted, but they make a delicious dish when baked with
tomatoes and flavored with onion, lemon, and bay leaf.

2 c. tomatoes
Few slices onion
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 thin slices bacon
1 Tb. flour
2 lb. halibut steak

Heat the tomatoes, onion, and bay leaf in water.
Add the salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes.
Cut the bacon into small squares, try it out in a pan, and into this
fat stir the flour.

Pour this into the hot mixture,

remove the bay leaf, and cook until the mixture thickens.
Put the steaks into a baking dish, pour the sauce over them, and bake in
a slow oven for about 45 minutes.

Remove with the sauce to a hot platter and serve.
