PAN FRIED LARGEMOUTH BASS WITH LEMON GARLIC HERB BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a saute pan on top of the grill. When the pan is hot add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat. Dredge the bass fillets in the flour and shake off any excess. Place the fillets in the pan and pan fry about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish from the pan. Add the rest of the butter to the pan and melt. When the butter is hot, add the sliced garlic. Fry the garlic until it just begins to turn light golden brown. Add the herbs and remove from the heat. Carefully, add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place a fillet on a plate and spoon some of the lemon garlic herb butter over the fish.
LEMON HERB FISH STUFF - IDEAL FOR BASS.
I don't even like fish that much. But this is superb. This recipe is ideal for a pond bass - one that would normally taste like the murky water it swims in. It goes from bottom feeder to beautiful. I've tried this with other fish too and it's so tasty. Even got the complements of a three star chef on this one.

Steps:
- Note: this is for a 1.
- 5 to 2 lb fish so adjust your proportions accordingly.
- Gut and clean the fish.
- Place fish on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the whole thing up on both sides.
- Coat the inside of the fish with one tablespoon of olive oil, and toss in a teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Cut lemon into 3/4" wedges and place three of them inside the fish (save the rest of the lemon for tea or something else).
- Stuff the herbs and garlic into the fish, saving a few leaves of basil for the outside.
- Coat the outside of the fish with the other tablespoon and a half of olive oil, sprinkle with a half teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Toss on a few leaves of basil and fold over the foil to the whole thing is covered.
- You'll want a little space so the fish can steam.
- This is where all the taste and herb flavor infusion comes from.
- Put the whole wrapped up and stuffed fish on the grill.
- Grill on medium heat for 5-7 minutes on either side (it's okay to peek) til fish flakes.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
- I like to keep the head on and pick it off the bone.
- Filet if you have a large fish.
- Enjoy.
