Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Every August at their summer lake cottage, Grandpa liked to go fishing. Most afternoons he would bring Grandma his daily catch of fresh lake perch or whitefish to cook up for dinner. Grandma soon became skilled in fish cookery. One of Grandpa's favorite dishes was when she used her nutty chicken coating on fish fillets. Grandma added a pinch or two of dried dill to the coating and substituted lemon pepper for plain black pepper. The fish came out of the oven brown and crispy-just the way Grandpa liked it.
