Ingredients for Alpine Perch Filets In White Wine Eglifilets In Weisswein

  • Perch Fillets
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt And Black Pepper
  • Heavy Cream
  • White Wine
  • Mushroom
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

How to Make Alpine Perch Filets In White Wine Eglifilets In Weisswein

  1. Rinse 4 (6-ounce) perch filets and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Drizzle the filets with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and dredge them in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the filets in the hot skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a separate saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup dry white wine over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and thicken.
  5. Season the cream sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (approximately 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper).
  6. Clean 8 ounces of mushrooms (cremini or button mushrooms recommended) and thinly slice them.
  7. Arrange the cooked perch filets on a serving platter. Top with the sliced mushrooms and then generously spoon the hot cream sauce over the filets and mushrooms.
  8. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately with your choice of egg noodles, rice, or new potatoes, accompanied by a fresh green salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
