The Red Drum, also known as the Redfish , has a reddish overall coloration and one or more dark spots at the base of the tail. It feeds at the bottom on crustaceans, mollusks and small fish, especially mullet. The usual adult weight is under 40 pounds but can reach into the 90 pound range.

1 1/2 to 2 pounds fresh redfish fillets

1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1 small lemon
2 teaspoons finely chopped onion
1/4 cup melted butter

Place fish in a lightly buttered shallow baking dish, skin side down. In a cup, combine remaining ingredients. Pour over redfish fillets and bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes.

The baked redfish should flake easily with a fork when done.
Serves 4 to 6.
