3.
Wash the lentils in cold water. Cook until soft and drain.
4.
Chop the pepperoni and fry in hot butter with salt. Add the lentils and season with salt before serving.
5.
Portion the pike perch into 4 or 8 equally sized pieces. Cover the skin side only with flour, whisked egg and bread crumbs.

Melt clarified butter in an oven proof dish. Place the pike perch into the dish with the breaded side down and fry for a few minutes. Turn over and finish in a hot oven at 200° C (fish should be shiny in the middle, approx. 8-12 minutes cooking time).
