BAKED BUTTER HERB PERCH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour butter into a shallow dish. Combine cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl.
• Dip perch fillets into melted butter and press into the seasoned cracker crumbs to coat. Arrange coated fillets on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the coating is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.

FRIED PERCH RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in the fryer to 375°. Line a plate or platter with wax paper then set aside. This same plate will be lined with paper towel for the fried fish.
• If the fish filets are connected like a 'butterfly', cut in half so you have two filets then rinse and dry fish using a paper towel.
• Prepare a breading station: Bowl #1 whisk the egg and water together. Bowl #2: add the cracker meal.
• Working with one filet at a time, dip in the egg wash letting any excess drip back into the bowl then dredge lightly in the cracker meal then set on a plate repeating until all the fish is coated.
• Gently place the fish in the preheated oil adding as many as the fryer will hold. Cook 2-3 minutes watching closely until the desired golden color.
• As you remove the fish from the deep fryer, let the oil drain in the basket for a couple of seconds then transfer to the paper towel lined plate and serve right away.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Some of the ingredients used to season the fish.
• 2. In a small bowl add eggs salt, pepper & lemon juice, then beat till blended together. The fillets were rather small, no wonder they were on sale.
• 3. In a large zip lock bag or bowl, add the panko bread crumbs, paprika, old bay seasoning, dill & garlic powder, shake or stir to blend together.
• 4. Add a wire baking rack to a large shallow pan then spray with non stick cooking spray, and set aside till needed.
• 5. Dip fish into egg batter then coat both sides of fish with panko bread crumbs mixture. Place on prepared wire rack, leaving a little space between each piece for even heat distribution. Spray lightly with non stick cooking spray.
• 6. Bake in preheated 400 degree F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Serve with lemon wedge & tartar or Hot Sauce as desired.
