Brown Buttered White Perch

  • Author: PurePac

Description

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.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • PurePac White Perch
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 lemon, cut in half

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until butter is foaming and nut-brown in color. Working in batches, place filets in skillet and cook until light golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fillets to a plate, squeeze lemon juice over the top, and serve.
