New England Baked Haddock

Baked Haddock with breadcrumb topping on a plate.

Details

  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 1/2 pounds Haddock (patted dry)
  • 1 cup Plain Breadcrumbs (or seasoned)
  • 6 tablespoons Salted Butter (melted)
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Lemon Wedges and Fresh Parsley for Serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking dish and spread to coat the bottom.
  3. Combine the bread crumbs with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
  4. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally and lay in the buttered baking dish.
  5. Spread bread crumbs – all of them – evenly over the top of the fish. Consider using your hands to sprinkle in 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.
