Sauteed Lake Perch

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup clarified butter
1 1/2 pounds fresh, skinned lake perch

Mix flour, paprika, and salt together and set aside. In a small bowl, blend the egg and the half-and-half. Heat butter in a large saute pan. Dip perch fillets in egg wash first and then into the flour mixture. Carefully place them into the hot butter in the saute pan and brown on both sides. Remove from the butter and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess butter. Serve immediately.

I don't usually make perch but it was on sale this week and we were surprised at how simply and yummy this Bobby Flay recipe was.
