Description
Delicious pan-seared perch fillets seasoned and served with fresh lemon and dill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces perch fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 small lemon (sliced)
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
- Pat the perch fillets completely dry using a paper towel.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned perch fillets skin-side down.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes. Gently slide a spatula under a fillet- if it lifts easily, flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If it doesn’t release easily, continue cooking for another 30 seconds before checking again.
- Remove the perch from the skillet and place on a serving dish. Add sliced lemon and dill and serve immediately.
Notes
- Each perch fillet is approximately 4 ounces.
