    What did you mean by "butter perch"? Is that the name of some kind
    of fish or were you referring to regular yellow perch fried in butter?
    The latter. I don't exactly have a recipe but what I do is heat butter in a pan until bubbling and slightly browned, then fry in the toasted
    butter. Once
    the perch is done I'll empty the pan of the toasted butter and make a
    batch of
    butter sauce to spoon over the fish with lemon juice, salt+pepper,
    maybe some
    chili sauce and a chopped green like parsley or green onion.

    Resembles a classic French recipe, but the classier
    joints use fresh butter, throwing away the tasty
    but fishy brown butter.

    Sandre meuniere (butter pike-perch)
    categories: French, classic, fish, main
    servings: 1

    1 fish filet, ca 6 oz
    1 1/2 oz milk
    3 Tb flour
    1 oz butter
    1 lemon
    1 tb olive oil
    fresh parsley leaves to taste

    Dip the fish in the milk and then the flour.

    Cook in the oil in a hot skillet until just
    done and crisp on the outside.

    In a separate pan melt the butter and add the
    lemon juice.

    Plate the fish, pour the lemon butter over
    and strew with parsley. Serve hot.

    I've tried it that way but it just seemed like a waste of butter to make a whole new fish-free batch to put on... fish.
