Instruction

Dry fish with paper towels. Butter a large baking dish and arrange fish in it. Separate onions into rings. Scatter over fish.

Bake at 425ºF 10 minutes per inch of thickness (see Canadian Rule). Remove from oven. With a baster, remove all cooking liquid to a small saucepan. Reduce liquid over high heat to 1-1/4 cups. Warm brandy in a ladle. Light it carefully. Pour flaming brandy into reduced liquid. Set aside. Cream together flour and butter. Add to liquid. Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat. When thick, add cayenne and pour over fish. Garnish with parsley and lemons.
