Planked Shad
Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 4 lbs shad
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups mashed potatoes, hot
- parsley, for garnish
- lemon, for garnish
Directions
- Clean and dress fish.
- Broil for ten minutes; place on a hot, buttered plank, skin side down.
- Season well, pour melted butter over the top and bake at 400F for 15 minutes.
