Freshwater fish is somehow underrated. We all use to have salmon, tuna, sea trout or something similar, but there are many varieties of freshwater fish which are delicious, easy to make and to be honest, cheaper to buy.
Zander is most definitely one of those. Well prepared, with creamy buttery sauce with shallot, scallion and lemon juice, this zander fillet recipe is easy to make, and above all very healthy.
Zander belongs to the perch family, and it can be found all over Europe and North America. It has very little fat content which doesn’t affect its great taste.
