If you have any bass fillets in the freezer, here's a recipe that will turn them into a delightful meal with no "muddy" flavor.

For this recipe you will need:

2 lbs bass fillets, thawed
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup mayo or salad dressing
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 egg, beaten
2 cups seasoned croutons
1 cup drained whole kernel corn
1 medium tomato, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup grated colby cheese (smoked is best)
1/4 cup finely-chopped onion
lemon slices for a garnish.

Procedures:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle bass fillets with salt

Mix mayo, lemon juice and egg in a medium bowl.

Stir in croutons, corn, tomato, cheese and onion.

Spread 2 cups of the mixture in a greased baking dish (approximate size = 11 X 7 X 1 3/4)

Arrange bass fillets on top of the mixture.

Cover bass fillets with the remaining mixture.

Bake uncovered until the bass fillets flake easily with a fork (will probably take 45 to 50 minutes)

Garnish with lemon slices.

Serve and enjoy. Will serve 5 or 6 people.

When I tried this recipe, I was surprised that the usual "muddy" flavor of bass was gone - or perhaps maksed - by the other ingredients and makes an excellent dish to serve.

Let me know how it turns out for you.
