Perch is a delicate, light whitefish that has a relatively mild flavor. This perch recipe is a stark contrast to most I’ve seen. That’s because frying is the method of choice when cooking perch.
Yeah, the breading tastes good, I get it. But that breading comes at a high price. It’s full of refined flour, salt, and gets saturated with oil when you fry it.
So if you want to save hundreds of calories and still enjoy a pretty tasty meal, try this healthy oven baked perch recipe. I managed to knock the calorie count down to just 215 by using fresh herbs for flavor. Plus, it’s a healthy low carb dish … zero carbs, to be exact.
