Today, we'll be focusing on baked haddock, but feel free to experiment with other white fish.
Ingredients
- 2 haddock fillets (6 oz each)
- Olive oil
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Lemon
- Fresh parsley
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup and better prevention of sticking.
- Pat the haddock fillets dry and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, followed by a light seasoning of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Slice a lemon and place the slices on top of the fillets.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes. Overcooking haddock can lead to dryness, so it should be checked at 15 minutes and removed from the oven when it flakes easily.
Serving and Storing
Fresh parsley makes a significant difference in the flavor of the baked haddock. Serve the dish with fresh parsley sprinkled on top.
Leftover baked haddock can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheated in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes, with a splash of water or lemon juice to keep it moist.
This baked haddock pairs well with garlicky green beans, roasted asparagus, lemon rice, or buttery mashed potatoes.
Tips and Variations
- Adding extra lemon slices midway through baking can intensify the zesty flavor.
- The recipe allows for customizable spices. Options like Old Bay, cayenne pepper, thyme, or dill can be used to add a unique twist.
- Frozen haddock can be used in the recipe, but it should be thawed overnight in the fridge, patted dry, and seasoned just before baking.
- Fresh haddock should have a bright, clean smell and be avoided if it is fishy or dull-looking.
- Parchment paper is recommended for easier cleanup and better prevention of sticking compared to greasing the pan. Aluminum foil can be used as a substitute, but the fish skin may stick.
- The baked haddock results in crispy edges and tender flakes.
We hope you enjoy this quick and delicious baked haddock recipe. Happy cooking!
