Cooking Haddock With Skin On Food

HEALTHY MEDITERRANEAN BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the cherry tomatoes, white wine, olives, 3 of the garlic cloves, capers, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season the flesh side with the Italian seasoning, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Nestle the fillets into the sauce in the baking dish. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the fillets are cooked through and easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 garlic clove with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the oil mixture and place onto a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve the fish on plates with the sauce and bread on the side.

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.

SIMPLE BROILED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Arrange haddock fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Mix onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle seasoning over haddock. Dot haddock with pieces of butter.
• Broil in the preheated oven until fish is easily flaked with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

PAN SEARED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Coat haddock evenly on all sides with flour.
• Pat off excess.
• Heat skillet on Medium-High.
• Pour approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil to lightly coat skillet.
• Wait until oil faintly smokes before adding haddock.
• Place haddock carefully in hot oil.
• When sides have changed color about 1/3 to 1/2 of way up--1 to 2 minutes--turn carefully.
• Lower heat and cook until internal temperature of 130 is reached.
• Add butter, shallots and thyme to pan.
• Melt and blend, but do not burn the butter.
• Baste the fillet and continue cooking until temperature is 140.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

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.
