I added some sauce from a jar of chipolte peppers to the mayonnaise for an added kick. This recipe was so easy to make and very tasty.

This was my first effort at cooking Perch. I followed this recipe and found it to be very good. It was easy to prepare, quick and looked lovely when I served it. However we found the Perch to be too bony, difficult to eat, but when we did finally get a mouthful of Perch it was delicious. Maybe the secret is in the fileting of this little fish, maybe we did not do it correctly. Maybe someone has some instructions on how to do this without getting skin and bones into it. I served it with fresh green beans, boiled new potatoes and cucumber sour cream salad.
