Broiled Bluegill

 

Fish Recipes

 

1   pound Bluegill

     Lemon juice

     Salt and fresh ground pepper

     Hendrickson’s sweet vinegar and olive oil dressing

 

Preheat broiler.  Adjust broiling rack to within 5-inches of the heat.  Clean the fish by removing scale and entrails.  Soak in ice water for a few minutes.   Drain and pat dry with paper towels.  Inside and out, brush the fish with lemon juice.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Coat the broiling rack with cooking spray.  Arrange fish on rack and baste with dressing.  Broil for 3-4 minutes or until flesh starts to turn brown.  Turn over, baste and broil for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork.

 

*Broiling time will vary depending on the size of each fish.
