Citrus Herb Baked Bass

Ingredients:

6 bass fillets
2 red bell peppers, juliened
2 yellow bell peppers, juliened
2 onions, juliened
extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon peel zested
2 teaspoons dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, and a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Reserve about 2 teaspoons for the veggies. Rub the remaining ingredients onto the bass fillets on both sides.

In a medium sized bowl, combine the vegetables, reserved seasoning mixture and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss together to evenly coat. Add the vegetables to a shallow baking dish of about 10" x 15" x 2". Place the fish fillets on the bed of vegetables and cover with aluminum foil.

In a 400° pre-heated oven, place the baking pan on the center rack and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is done by testing with a fork for flakiness. Remove and serve immediately.

Tip: Although some species of fish can be easily substituted for these recipes, I would like to recommend double checking on the chilean seabass. The chilean seabass is known to contain high amounts of mercury and is rated as to avoid eating. You can check out the Montery Bay Aquarium website for more information about the seafood watch on the chilean seabass as well as many other species of fish.

Inspiration For Bass Recipes

Normally, I prefer catch and release when freshwater fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. However, there are times when the fish swallow the hook too deep and they bleed to the point where they don't have a chance to survive. Rather than wasting the freshly caught bass, we've put together these bass fish recipes for when those moments arise.
