Source: Found on Pinterest

Crispy topping with a lot of flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh haddock

Crispy Topping

  • 2 Tbls. mayo (Hellman’s)
  • 4 Tbls. salted butter at room temperature
  • 2 t. Dijon mustard
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 1 c. panko bread crumbs
  • 1 t. dried basil (or dried dill)
  • juice of half a lemon (save zest)
  • lemon zest from lemon half (save other half for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by spraying lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

Gently pat both sides of the haddock then season with salt. Place on baking sheet.

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the topping. Using your hands, gently and evenly spread it across all the haddock. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Bake for 15 – 22 minutes or until haddock is cooked through and the topping is slightly brown. The thicker the haddock, the longer the baking time.
*If topping isn't as browned as you like, boil it for a few seconds.

Slice leftover lemon half into wedges and squeeze over cooked fish before eating.
