Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some olive oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the water until well combined.
Pat the haddock fillets dry using paper towels. This helps the breading adhere better.
Dip each haddock fillet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Next, press the haddock fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly. Press the coating gently onto the fish to ensure it sticks.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded haddock fillets to the skillet.
Cook the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the browned fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the gluten-free crispy breaded haddock hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
