Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Haddock fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Season both sides of the haddock fillets with the spice mixture.
Place the all-purpose flour on a plate and lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. This step helps create a crisp crust.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling it around the pan.
Carefully place the haddock fillets into the skillet, leaving some space between each piece. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving them, until a golden crust forms.
Using a spatula, gently flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
