Honey Lime Perch Filets

Most of the time, I love my job as a food blogger BUT there are times when it's just simply inconvenient.  Like when I'm at a restaurant with family and friends and I have to stop everyone before they bite into their meals so I can snap a picture.  OR when I'm trying to get dinner on the table in a hurry but I get slowed down because because of picture taking.  OR when I am absolutely starving but can't dive into dinner until the pictures are finished.  You get the idea.

Keep that last scenario in mind when your looking at the pictures in this blog post.  I was STARVING and this dinner looked and smelled so good that I just couldn't bring myself to make the plate look any prettier without eating.  Don't be fooled by the amateur looking pics though - this was some of the best fish that we've had in a long time. 

Honey Lime Perch Filets
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper

Pour marinade over fish, cover and refrigerate 1-4 hours.

Combine flour with salt and pepper.

Remove fish from marinade and dredge in flour mixture.

Heat oil in skillet and brown fish on both sides.

Transfer skillet to a 350 degree oven.  Cook until fish is translucent and cooked through.

This recipe would work with almost any light fish filet that you wanted to use.  I tend to buy whatever is on sale when I'm at the fish market.  This week it was ocean perch fish filets and they were DELICIOUS!

Ciao!
