Baked Haddock Recipe
Description
This baked haddock recipe begins with patting the fillets dry and seasoning simply with sea salt and black pepper. The topping combines crushed cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter for a moist, crunchy crust that adds texture and richness without overwhelming the delicate fish. The haddock is placed in a prepared baking dish and coated evenly with the crumb mixture.
Baking at 350°F until the fish flakes easily ensures a moist and tender interior beneath the flavorful crust. Finishing with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh parsley adds brightness and a slight herbal note that complements the mild flavor of haddock. This preparation allows for flexibility with crumb choices and can accommodate gluten-free options or traditional breadcrumbs.
This dish is suited for lunch or dinner served alongside vegetables or grains. Proper thawing of frozen fish beforehand helps ensure even cooking. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated up to three days. The recipe suggests omitting crumbs for a lower-carb version, showing adaptability for dietary preferences.
