Tastes like it came from your favorite seafood restaurant.
Tender, flaky haddock with a parmesan cheese and bread crumb topping!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. haddock filets
  • kosher salt and fresh black pepper (for seasoning the fish)
  • lemon wedges for serving

Breadcrumb Topping

  • 1 c. panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 c. mayonnaise
  • 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 t. Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 2 Tbls. chopped fresh parsley, more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

I liked to soak the fish in a little milk for about 30 minutes, before preparing to cook it to get rid of any fishy taste. Rinse fish, add a little milk to a Ziplock bag, and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes; then rinse and pat filets dry.

If you choose not to soak fish in milk, rinse and dry the fish filets very well with paper towels. Place the fish on a baking sheet that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Season the fish with salt and pepper.

Add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder and parsley to a bowl and mix to combine.

Spread mixture on top of fish, dividing between the filets, using all the topping.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on how thick your fish filet is. If needed, bake a little longer.

Serve the fish with lemon wedges and garnish with more chopped parsley.

NOTE: Serves 6. To serve less, cut recipe in half.
