Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Haddock fillets
- 1.5 cups Ritz crackers
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F). If using a gas grill, prepare it for indirect grilling.
Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and spray it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30-40 seconds in the microwave). Set aside to cool slightly.
Crush the Ritz crackers into fine crumbs (you can use a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Drizzle the melted butter and lemon juice into the Ritz cracker mixture and stir until it resembles wet sand.
Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared aluminum foil. Distribute the buttery Ritz cracker mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Carefully place the foil with the fillets onto the grill, ensuring the edges are folded slightly upward to avoid any butter dripping onto the flames.
Grill the fish over indirect heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the haddock is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid directly exposing the fish to flames to prevent burning the crust.
Remove from the grill and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes. Transfer the fish to serving plates using a spatula.
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with your favorite grilled vegetables or a fresh summer salad for a complete meal.
