Baked Haddock With Buttery Cracker Topping Food

NEW ENGLAND BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
• Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
• Spread bread crumbs - all of them - evenly over the top of the fish. I use my hands to sprinkle it on (it won't really stick like traditional breading - it's more like a topping).
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked thoroughly (and flakes easily).
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.

HONEY HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 1/2 cup butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Mix crushed crackers into the melted butter.
• Place haddock a shallow baking dish and cover with butter-cracker mixture.
• Bake haddock in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
• Place remaining 1/4 cup butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 15 seconds. Stir in honey and parsley until blended.
• Remove haddock from the oven; drizzle honey butter on top. Continue baking until top is browned, about 5 minutes more.

BAKED HADDOCK AND SEAFOOD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F, line a roasting pan with parchment.
• Lay fish fillets in a single layer on the bottom of the dish, then top with scallops and shrimp.
• Pour the white wine and lemon juice overtop of the seafood.
• In a bowl, toss butter, cracker crumbs, garlic powder, black pepper and lemon zest.
• Sprinkle over the seafood.
• Bake 15 minutes, then turn the broiler to HI and broil 2 minutes, until browned.

BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the milk and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Dip the haddock fillets in the milk, then press into the crumb mixture to coat. Place haddock fillets in a glass baking dish, and drizzle with melted butter.
• Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily, about 15 minutes.

BAKED LEMON HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cut fish into 6 serving-sized pieces. Place in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over fish. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 20-25 minutes.

BAKED HADDOCK WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl except for the butter and fish. Use a food processor or your hands to make an evenly consistent bowl of crumbs.
• Place the fish in a cooking dish(es), cover with a good handful of crumbs and sprinkle with drawn butter.
• Place two tablespoons of water around the bottom of the fish.
• Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the breadcrumbs become brown. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge and your favorite vegetable.

BAKED COD WITH BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs.
• Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.)
• Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.

BAKED COD WITH GARLIC AND HERB RITZ CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9 x 9-inch ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold the fish) and tilt the dish to coat the bottom with oil. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn to coat both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Set aside.
• Remove the fish from the oven and pour the wine and lemon juice directly on the fillets. Pat the crumb mixture evenly onto the fillets, pressing gently to help them adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
• Return the pan to the oven for 12 minutes, until the fillets are just cooked through in the center, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices and lemon wedges.

BAKED HADDOCK WITH BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425*F/220*C/ gas mark 7. Have ready an oven proof skillet large enough to hold both fillets.
• Put the crackers into a bowl and crush. You want a mix of mostly fine and some coarse crumbs. Add 2 TBS of the melted butter, the spring onion, parsley, lemon zest, onion and garlic powders. Mix to combine well.
• Butter the skillet. Place the fillets in the skillet and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Pile the cracker crumbs on top. (Some crumbs will fall off, its inevitable.)
• Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. (About 10 minutes per inch of thickness. My fillets were thicker on one end than the other. I folded the thin end underneath the thicker end. They took about 13 minutes.)
• The fish should flake easily and the juices should be bubbling and golden brown around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over top and serve immediately with more lemon wedges for squeezing on the side.

HERB-CRUSTED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Lightly oil a large baking tray, then lay the haddock and tomatoes alongside each other. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the garlic paste or crushed garlic, then spread evenly over the fish.
• In a separate bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, juice and parsley, and season to taste. Top the fish with the breadcrumb mixture. Drizzle olive oil over the fish and tomatoes, and bake for 15 mins or until the fish flakes slightly when pressed and the crust is golden and crunchy.
