Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
  3. Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
  4. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
  5. Spread bread crumbs - all of them - evenly over the top of the fish. I use my hands to sprinkle it on (it won't really stick like traditional breading - it's more like a topping).
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked thoroughly (and flakes easily).
  7. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Looking for more flavor? This recipe is basic and simple, which I LOVE. But if you're looking for bolder flavor, try adding spices or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture, such as fresh parsley, dill, chives, garlic (powder or fresh), onion powder, and/or lemon zest, or use Italian Style Seasoned Breadcrumbs. Grated parmesan cheese would also be delicious added in!
  • If you use unsalted butter, I recommend adding 1/4 teaspoon salt to the breadcrumb mixture, in addition to seasoning the fish.
  • If your fish is particularly thick, you may need more time to cook it. The cooking time indicated is for fish about 3/4"-1" thick. Keep in mind, oven temperatures vary as well.
  • How to use Ritz crackers: New England Baked Haddock is traditionally made with crushed Ritz crackers. You can use them if you prefer- just put them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Then, use in place of the breadcrumbs in the recipe and use only 3 tablespoons of melted butter instead of 6.
