So, today I tried to make a perch dinner. You know, I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy meals, especially after a long day. I remembered seeing something online about meals ready in under 30 minutes, and I thought, why not give perch a shot?
I went to the store and picked up some fresh lake perch. The guy at the counter said it’s the best for frying, and I trust those guys, they know their fish. I also considered getting some walleye, as I heard it is also great, but the perch looked so good.
- First, I grabbed the perch fillets. They were pretty thin, which is perfect because they cook fast.
- Then, I seasoned them. Now, I saw some people online talking about different seasonings. Some folks like Lawry’s, some go for lemon pepper, and others swear by Old Bay. I kept it simple and just used some of my own basic spices, just salt and pepper.
- Next, I heated up some butter in a pan. I didn’t use oil. I know some people fry with oil, but I just like the taste of butter.
- Once the butter was melted and hot, I carefully placed the fillets in the pan. I made sure not to overcrowd the pan because I wanted each piece to get nice and crispy.
- I cooked them for a few minutes on each side. The fillets are thin, so they don’t need much time. And guess what? I didn’t even bother taking off the skin. It’s edible and gets really crispy, so why waste time?
- After about 3-4 minutes, they were golden brown and looked delicious. I took them out of the pan and let them rest on a plate for a minute.
A Simple Meal
That’s it! I paired the fish with some simple steamed veggies that I zapped in the microwave, and bam, dinner was served. It was a super easy and quick meal, just like those online articles promised. I’m definitely adding this to my list of go-to dinners. Give it a try, it’s really good and doesn’t take much time at all. And don’t be afraid to experiment with the seasonings. You might find something you really like. The perch was so tender and flaky, and the crispy skin added a nice touch. It’s a nice, light meal that doesn’t leave you feeling too full, so that’s good for me.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this perch dinner turned out. It was an easy, satisfying meal that didn’t take hours to make. Plus, it’s a healthier option compared to some other quick meals. If you’re looking for something new to try, give this a shot. You might be surprised at how easy and tasty it is!
