BROWN BUTTER PERCH



Brown Butter Perch image

I love perch. I love everything about them--the sweet, delicate flavor, the striking coloration, and the stubborn fight they put up for their size. The key here is getting the butter to a perfect nutty brown. Technically it's still butter, but something happens when it's toasted like this, and it really does become another ingredient altogether.

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces fresh perch fillets
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Gently press perch fillets into flour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess flour.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure the perch cooks evenly and doesn't crowd the pan.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the perch. This will help sear the fish and prevent it from sticking.
  • Season the perch generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the perch for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the perch immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:
