Ingredients

2 whole shad fillets, 2 1/2 pounds total
Salt and pepper to taste
4 thick slices of bacon
Lemon wedges

Steps:

You can use a plank of hardwood at least an inch thick, or a broiling pan large enough to accommodate both fillets. 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.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. If you use a plank, spread it with vegetable oil and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes.
Season the fillets with salt and pepper and arrange them, skin side down, in the broiling pan or on the hot plank. Lay the slices of bacon diagonally across the fish.
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. Discard the bacon and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
