I always fry bluegills, but want to try baking some bluegill fillets. Do any of you guys have a fairly simple recipe you would recommend? Will appreciate any replies.

I've also been looking on the Internet for baked fish recipes and can use one of them if no one on this forum has one to recommend. Just thought I'd ask, thinking maybe someone might have one that would be better for bluegills specifically.

Oven baked fish are hard to beat. I have a very simple recipe. Preheat oven 400 degrees. Dip fish in egg mixture and then corn meal mixture. Use butter or Pam to coat a baking dish or pan. Place in over until golden brown. You can also add spices to your cornmeal mixture if you desire. Put some lemon on top of fish after they are done. Simply FANTASTIC!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Marinate Bluegill in a lemon garlic butter mixture. Spray a baking pan with Pam and bake em until golden brown.

Banker and Laker One, just what I was looking for, very simple recipes. Many thanks. I'll cook some both ways.

Zatarains Bake & Crisp for Seafood, tastes as good as fried without the grease.

A friend of mine was telling about Zatarains the other day! Got to give it a try.

Anthony, which store do you buy it?

You can get it at HEB!

Oh good. That is the grocery we use. Thanks"

Here is what I do for any type of fish to bake.
Preheat oven 400. Place fillets in foil packets.
Coat fillets with olive oil
Liberally sprinkle fish with black pepper and garlic salt.
Put a little lemon juice on them.
Slice a Fresh jalapeno and lay on top of fish.
Close packets and bake.
For bluegill fillets will only take 8 to 10 minutes to cook.
Enjoy

Super post. Going to have to give these recipes a try.
