Ingredients

Haddock

  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil spreay just before baking
Wet Coating
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream of yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chilli powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne cajun spice or chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

  • 3 cups Chips or your favorite breadcrumbs, crackers, doritos
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro

  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1 avocado sliced

Notes

  • Make sure the haddock fillets are boneless and skinless for this recipe, as it can be hard to fish out the bones with a crunchy coating.
  • You can use fresh or frozen fish here, if frozen make sure it's well defrosted before proceeding.
  • Patting the fish dry before beginning the coating process will make the coating stick even better.
  • Add more or less of your favorite spices to the wet coating. 
  • As for the crunchy coating, make it ritz, chips, breadcrumbs or any crunch coating you prefer. 
  • Spraying the fish with avocado oil before baking adds another bit of texture to the coating when baking.
  • The fish is ready once the coating is crunchy and the fish is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork. 
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
  • Freezing: You can freeze the fish coated and raw for up to 3 months, likewise you can freeze the cooked fish for the same time. Make sure they're well wrapped. 
  • To Reheat/cook from frozen : Allow the fish to be at room temperature for 2 hours, and Air fry at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  • 400 degree F oven is an optimal temperature for baking haddock as it allows the fish the cook well on the inside without burning the exterior coating.
  • We love doritos or any spicy chips here to coat the fish, and that;s because they're sper crunchy and well seasoned. You can however use breadcrumbs for ease, and feel free to flavor them to your taste. 
  • If using crackers or chips, place them in a ziploc bag, and use a rolling pin to press down until they are broken up to the size of your choice. They're ready to use. 
  • Feel free to use Mahi Mahi, Tilapia, Halibut, cod or any white firm fillet.
