Ingredients

  • 4 fresh perch fillets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the perch fillets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
