Equipment

  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 chopping knife
  • 1 teaspoon or tablespoon
  • kitchen foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large slice fresh perch
  • 5 large garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 20 gr grated parmesan 3/4 tablespoons
  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper mix
  • salt and pepper
  • Belmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Novello EVOO

Side Dish

  • 1 bunch asparagus

Instructions
 

  • Before you start preparing your fish, it's best you think about your side dishes. If you opted to make asparagus, clean it and boil it. Or you can steam it or roast it. If you are making a salad, you can do that while the fish cooks. I served mine with the asparagus and some steamed carrots and cauliflower, that I had cooked the day before.

  • Peel, wash and mince your garlic. Put into a small bowl.

  • Add the breadcrumbs.

  • Grate the parmesan and add that too. Mix everything well.
    Tip: I prefer using a block of parmesan as it tastes much nicer and it lasts for weeks in the fridge. On the other hand, packed parmesan tends to go off in just a few days.

  • Prepare your perch on a sheet of kitchen foil. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle some Belmorso EVOO.
  • Next, top with the flavourful mix in the bowl.
