Method

Fried Perch Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each perch fillet into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the cornmeal, pressing to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded perch fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Harissa Aioli Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, harissa paste, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of harissa aioli on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Place a fried perch fillet on top, add shredded lettuce, roasted tomato slices, and red onion. Finish with the top bun.
