    • Step-by-Step Method: Perch with White Wine and Capers
    • Pat each perch fillet dry with paper towels
    • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Place flour on a plate and lightly dredge each fillet, shaking off excess
    • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat

    • Flip fillets gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through
    • Transfer cooked fillets to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil
    • Wipe the pan if necessary, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter
    • Repeat searing process for remaining two perch fillets, then transfer alongside the others
    • Lower heat to medium, add dry white wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits
    • Add capers to the wine and simmer for 2 minutes to slightly reduce

    • Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed
    • Spoon sauce evenly over the plated perch fillets
