Indoor Shad Bake

1. 1

   You can use a plank of hardwood at least an inch thick, or a broiling pan large enough to accommodate both fillets.

2. 2

   If you use a plank, put a pan or foil tray larger than the plank on the oven rack below it to catch the drippings.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

4. 4

   If you use a plank, spread it with vegetable oil and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Season the fillets with salt and pepper and arrange them, skin side down, in the broiling pan or on the hot plank.

6. 6

   Lay the slices of bacon diagonally across the fish.

7. 7

   Bake 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 350 degrees and bake 10 minutes or so more, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

8. 8

   Discard the bacon and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
