2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion

Sprinkle a thin layer of rock salt in an aluminum foil-lined 13- x 9- x 2-inch pan. Arrange oysters (in shells) over rock salt; sprinkle oysters with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
3

Combine butter, green onion, and chopped parsley; dot each oyster with butter mixture. Combine cornflake crumbs and cheese, and sprinkle over butter mixture.
