For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cracker mixture for a subtle kick. Panko breadcrumbs can be substituted for saltine crackers to create a crust with more texture. Ensure the perch fillets are patted dry before dipping them in butter; this will help the coating adhere better. If you don't have yellow perch, other mild white fish like cod or tilapia will work well in this recipe. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Mar 14, 2024I used panko breadcrumbs instead of saltines, and it worked beautifully. The fish was moist and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly crunchy.
