1 whole bluefish, mackerel, porgy or flounder
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Wash and dry the fish. Coat with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place in a buttered shallow pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Combine with parsley, onion, butter and lemon juice and spread over the cooked fish.

Place the fish under the broiler and cook until lightly browned.
