Original 1941 recipe
Verbatim from "Good, cheap daily fare" (1941) – frugal wartime cooking.

Finger-thick fish slices (halibut is best) dredged in flour, layered in a greased dish with spices and cream, covered with boiling water and baked in a hot oven; said to have been Henrik Ibsen's favourite dish. From Henriette Schønberg Erken's «God, billig dagskost» (1941).

Layer the fish
Cut the fish into finger-thick slices — skin and bones removed — dredge well in flour, lay down in a greased pot or dish and sprinkle with the various spices, not too generously; put a couple of spoons of cream over the fish.
Add more layers
Then add another layer of floured fish, and put spices and cream over again. Reckon in all about 1½ dl cream for 1 kg of fish.
Add water
Over the whole pour boiling water, but no more than level with the fish. Shake the dish gently so the fish does not fall apart.
Bake and serve
Put in a hot oven and serve in the dish as soon as the fish is cooked. The cream should be whisked before it is poured over the fish.
A note
This is a good, somewhat unusual fish dish said to have been Henrik Ibsen's favourite.
