How to cook fresh perch?
A friend gave me perch fillets from fish he caught. I like fish but don't have much experience cooking it from fresh (well, technically, frozen now). What is the best technique for cooking perch? Seasonings? Thanks!

I am so happy you enjoyed this! This is how my dear Mom cooked all the fish we caught at the cottage growing up, simple and delicious. I actually squirt lemon or lime juice over the fillets, forgot to tell you that - sorry. Perch, like Pickerel, is thin and tender and I have never baked it but you could, for a few minutes on each side, and skip the "fried" part. When I try it I will come in and let you know how it worked out.
