stuffing in slit; close slit with skewers and lace up. Heat oil with 2
tablespoons butter in a broiler pan; place fish in pan. Broil the fish

begins to brown, add a little wine to the broiler pan to increase the
basting mixture and keep the fish moist. It is not necessary to tum the
fish. Keep the flame low and when the top of the fish is golden brown or
slightly darker, the fish will be cooked through. Spoon remaining sauce
