Lake Perch Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Breading

In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

3

Bread the Perch

Dip each perch fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the fillet in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5

Fry the Perch

Carefully add the breaded perch fillets to the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the cooked perch from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
