Perch
Report
This White Perch is flakey, sweet tasting and cooks in minutes! If you're looking for a perch recipe, here's the one you need. Since perch fish is relatively thin, we prefer it crisp baked over seared. Served with a side of salad, lemon squeeze, and you’ve got an amazing dinner in no time! Step by step and video below.

Notes
- Source fresh and local perch, always. We found white perch and it was amazing!
- You'll notice how thin and sensitive the fillets are and they cook pretty fast, so keep an eye on them.
- The fillets are very mild tasting and slightly sweet, so avoid over spicing and heavy marinades.
- The wet coating is super variable as long as you keep a binding ingredient. Mustard or mayo, or eggs, or yogurt are all types of binders.
- Similarly the coating, use any breadcrumb and spice profile you like.
- Since we have skin on fillets, we have coated only the flesh, leaving the skin exposed.
- Make sure to bake the fillets, coated side up to ensure the best crisp.
- Always drizzle or spray oil over the coating for a better crunch.
- Keep an eye out for the fish as they cook pretty fast, if you're monitoring temperatures, it should be 145 degrees F internal.
- To make in advance, coat the fish and place in the fridge in a single layer. Bake the next day until crisp adding 2-3 more minutes to baking time.
- To freeze uncooked, follow the coating process. Freeze in a single layer as well and defrost before baking.
- To reheat leftovers, our favorite way is using the air fryer. Air fry at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes in a single layer
