Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) haddock fillets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.75 cups bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Season the haddock fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper, then place them in a single layer in the prepared casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth paste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Continue whisking and cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the haddock fillets in the casserole dish, ensuring all the fillets are covered.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, parsley, and olive oil until combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
