Ingredients

  • 24-30 perch fillets
  • 4 T. Nutiva coconut flour
  • 4 T. Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
  • Bragg's herbs and spices seasoning (to taste)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 free-range, organic egg
  • 1/2 cup, divided organic, grass-fed butter or coconut oil or bacon fat (as needed)

Instructions

  • Heat two 10" cast iron skillets on the stove top over low heat. Apply 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan. The pans are pre-heated when they start steaming.
  • Beat the egg in a bowl. Place all the perch fillets in the bowl and make sure they all get coated with the egg. I like to use a fork to mix the fillets with the scrambled egg.
  • Use a fork to whisk together the flours, seasoning, salt, and pepper on a plate. Using the fork, take one perch fillet at a time and coat it with the flour mixture.
  • Once all of the fillets have been coated with flour, begin placing them in the pre-heated pans. Add more butter as the breading absorbs the butter in the pan.
  • Wait for one side of the fillets to become brown in color, then flip the fillets and allow the other side to brown. It usually takes 4-5 minutes on each side for the fillets to be nicely browned.
  • Serve warm with a veggie side and homemade bread product!
