Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces haddock fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to deepen the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully nestle the seasoned haddock fillets into the marinara sauce, making sure they are partially submerged.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the haddock to cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a serving plate.
Taste the marinara sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, then spoon the sauce over the haddock fillets.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
