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.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the perch fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Stir in the capers and lemon juice, then return the perch fillets to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the fish to heat through.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the perch fillets and sauce before serving.
