Tip

Prepare this recipe first.

Add the fried whitefish to the sauce to simmer at the final stage. Add more butter if needed.

1
Bring water to a boil for the potatoes. Peel and chop the potatoes. Cook until tender in salted water.
2
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Rinse the cherry tomatoes. Chop the capers. Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley.
3
If necessary, cut the pike perch filee into portion-sized pieces according to the number of diners. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Heat a frying pan with oil. Place the fish fillets skin side down onto the hot pan. Press the fish gently at the start of cooking. Fry for about 3–4 minutes. Add butter to the pan and baste the fish with the melted butter. Turn the fish over and fry for a short while. Transfer the fish to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
5
Reheat the same pan. Add butter, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and capers. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring. Season with salt and black pepper. Grate the zest of a washed half lemon into the sauce and squeeze in the juice as well. Let simmer for a few minutes. Finish the sauce with flat-leaf parsley.

Drain the cooked potatoes well and mash them, for example with a masher. Grate the zest of a washed half lemon into the potatoes and squeeze in the juice as well. Stir in the butter. Add salt if needed.
