Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
4 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry rosemary
1 teaspoon dry oregano
4 large Organic Valley Eggs
2 pounds fresh lake perch fillets
3 cups bread crumbs
6 tablespoons Organic Valley Butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Instructions:
1. Mix together the flour, paprika, rosemary, oregano salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.
2. Dip each fish fillet in the flour mixture then in the eggs, and then roll it in bread crumbs.
3. Heat the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high flame. Fry the fillets a few at a time, without crowding the pan, until golden brown. This will only take about a minute or so. Drain the finished fillets on paper towels and keep them in a warm oven until all the fillets are done and ready to serve.
4. Serve with lemon wedges. Tartar sauce is optional.
