Indoor Shad Bake

Directions

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.
