Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6-8 ounces each) fresh haddock fillets
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 (zested and juiced) lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a clean plate.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Add the melted butter, olive oil, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice to the breadcrumb mixture. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Place the haddock fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and brush them lightly with the remaining lemon juice.
Press the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the tops of the haddock fillets, ensuring each piece is completely covered in the mixture.
Bake the haddock in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with additional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy Dad's secret family favorite!
