How to Make Bass With Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry 2 (6-ounce) bass fillets.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place fillets in a lightly greased baking dish (8x8 inch).
  5. Pour lemon-thyme mixture over fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the fish bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 1 tablespoon chopped pimientos.
  9. Remove the foil from the baking dish.
  10. Spoon the glaze evenly over the baked fillets.
  11. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is lightly browned and bubbly.
  12. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
