Description

This Crispy Baked Haddock recipe features flaky white fish coated in a golden, seasoned breadcrumb crust. It’s a healthier alternative to fried fish, with all the satisfying crunch and flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 haddock fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pat the haddock fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set up a dredging station: one plate with flour, one bowl with beaten eggs, and one plate with a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to adhere. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Panko breadcrumbs provide the crispiest texture—avoid regular breadcrumbs for best results. For added flavor, mix fresh herbs or lemon zest into the breadcrumb mixture. This recipe works well with cod or pollock as a substitute for haddock.
