- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup clarified butter
- 1 1/2 pound fresh, skinned lake perch
Mix flour, paprika, and salt together and set aside. In a small bowl,
blend the egg and the half-and-half. Heat butter in a large saute
pan. Dip perch fillets in egg wash first and then into the flour
mixture. Carefully place them into the hot butter in the saute pan
and brown on both sides. Remove from the butter and drain on a paper
towel to absorb excess butter. Serve immediately.

Pepper-Crusted
Lake Perch in Red Wine SauceHere’s
a great example of a fish dish that begs for a red
wine to accompany it. If you’re an inland resident
who loves to fish, this dish is especially flavorful
made with “today’s catch!” If you
prefer, you can use less pepper than I do.Makes 6 servings2
tablespoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns (black,
green, pink)
3/8 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 5-ounce lake perch fillets
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- In a pie plate or a low-sided bowl mix the peppercorns
with the breadcrumbs and sea salt. Just before you are
ready to start the cooking, coat both sides of each fillet
with the mixture. (If you do this too far in advance,
the coating may become soggy and pick up too much oil.)
- Warm a sauté pan over low heat. Put in the
oil and butter and raise the heat to medium-high, until
the butter is melted. When you put the fish fillets in
the pan, you should hear a searing noise. (In other words,
you want the oil to be hot enough!) Sauté the
fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- After cooking the fish, remove it from the pan and
keep warm on a covered platter.
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/8 cup finely chopped shallots
- 3 cups dry red wine
- 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 large sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
thyme)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Freshly ground pepper
- Sea salt to taste
- Add 2 tablespoons butter and all the shallots to the
hot pan. Sauté the shallots over medium heat for
about 3 minutes, then pour in the red wine. Add the garlic
and thyme, raise the heat, and cook until the wine is
reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and stir
in the mustard. Add freshly ground pepper and taste before
adding salt. It may very well be salty enough.
- To serve, arrange the fish on hot plates. Strain the
sauce through a fine sieve, pressing down on the onion
to extract as much flavor as possible.
Ladle some sauce over the fish and serve at
once.Wine Tip: St. Supéry’s 2001 Syrah would
be ideal with this fish. It’s their first vintage
of this yummy wine -- available only at the winery or in
their on-line store. Aromas of blackberry and raspberry
are framed by toasty coffee-scented oak, while mulberry,
cranberry and black cherries linger on your palate. (www.stsupery.com)This

French
Style Roasted Perch With Fennel, Tomatoes and Wine
Recipe
A delectable
roasted fish and vegetable dish
that is very popular in the South
of France, especially Provence.
I have listed Perch as the fish
to use in this recipe, but Bream,
John Dory, Halibut or Tilapia would
also work very well. An elegant
dinner dish, which needs very little
attention, making it the perfect
recipe for when you have company!
Serve alongside poached or steamed
seasonal vegetables, with wild
rice or a simple salad.
