Aromatic perch fillets
Time: 10 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Servings: 2-3 servings
Directions
- Prepare the seasoning mix: finely grind all the spices (in a coffee mill, for example). Since you do not need the whole quantity, store the mix in an airtight glass bottle and refrigerate for future use.
- Mix flour and corn flour, salt and pepper. Add the seasoning to flour mixture, stir.
- Slowly add beer, whisking constantly until a batter consistency.
- Coat filets with batter and fry in hot oil about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set aside to a warm place.
- From the remaining batter form small pancakes and fry in the same oil. They make great accompaniment to the fillets.
- Serve immediately with potato salad.
