Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces haddock fillets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Arrange the haddock fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and all the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the haddock fillets in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, parsley, and olive oil. Mix well.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the cheese sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the haddock is cooked through (flakes easily with a fork).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
