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

  1. Pat the perch fillets completely dry using a paper towel.
  2. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the perch from the skillet and place on a serving dish. Add sliced lemon and dill and serve immediately.
