Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place bass in a glass baking pan.

Step 3

Combine lemon juice and 1 tablespoon dill in a small bowl; pour over bass. Marinate at room temperature, at least 10 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes.

Step 5

Combine the remaining dill, mayonnaise, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl. Mix and smear sauce over the bass. Sprinkle bass with bread crumbs to make crust. Sprinkle butter slices on top.
