Description

This Butter-Baked Haddock recipe offers a simple, flavorful, and moist baked fish dish featuring tender haddock fillets topped with a crispy butter, breadcrumb, and Parmesan crust. Perfect for a quick and elegant weeknight dinner, it balances the richness of melted butter and Parmesan with the bright zest of lemon and spices.

Ingredients

Scale

Fish and Topping

  • 4 haddock fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the fish from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika, which will infuse the fish with a rich and zesty flavor.
  3. Arrange Haddock Fillets: Place the haddock fillets evenly in the prepared baking dish and drizzle half of the prepared butter mixture over the fillets to season them thoroughly.
  4. Prepare and Apply Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fillets, then drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the breadcrumb topping for a golden crust.
  5. Bake the Fish: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping turns golden brown and crunchy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the baked haddock with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness and acidity.

Notes

  • Use fresh haddock fillets for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, broil the fish for the last 2-3 minutes carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad to balance the buttery richness.
