Homestyle Baked Haddock

 

Here I am sharing a delicious fish recipe for Friday the 13th. Fish for Friday!  Not unlucky!  Good for you! 

 

 I have always seen Friday the 13th as being a lucky day myself, and 13 as being one of my lucky numbers!

 

Today's dish is Haddock, using some of that lovely fish I got from Seafresh quality foods a while back. I had used some in a fish pie and it was excellent.

 

I thought today I would bake the remainder in one of my favourite ways to enjoy Haddock.

  

Seafresh is an on line fish monger, which sells quality fish, seafood, poultry and meat.  I was incredibly impressed with both their product and their delivery service!  

 

There was absolutely nothing that I could fault with any of it. Feel free to read about my experience here.

 

Their Haddock Loins are skinless, boneless and responsibly sourced in the Atlantic Ocean.  Its a great alternative to Cod, and let me tell you these fillets are nice and meaty and a great size. 

 

You can bake them from frozen if you wish, but for this recipe today I preferred to use them thawed.

 

This is a really simple way of preparing Haddock. Of course you could do this with any kind of fish, but it is especially good with Haddock. 

 

All you will need is some seasoning, cracker crumbs, butter and of course the fish.

 

I use Ritz Cracker for this as they work and taste the best.  The seasoned haddock gets placed in a buttered dish.

 

Finally, you just sprinkle a layer of buttered cracker crumbs over top and bake.

 

Easy peasy, lemon squeasy as they say!  And oh so tasty!

  

You can serve them with some lemon wedges for squeezing over top.  

 

Fish and lemon . . .  a beautiful combination.

 

My sister had been tormenting me with tales of her and Dad going out for dinners of Haddie Bits and Chips.  

 

I have never had Haddie Bits and Chips, but apparently they are delicious. 

 

Here's a photo of them . . . just so you can drool also. These come from Pearle's in Paradise, Nova Scotia.  Sigh  . . .

 

Have I ever told you that whenever anyone in my family goes out to eat we like to treat ourselves to Fish and Chips?  Its true. 

 

We are all the same  . . .  so predictable.

 

This Homestyle Baked Haddock is just as good, well almost as good anyways, and a lot less work.

 

We enjoyed it with Spring Onion Mash, broccoli, cauliflower and some cobs of frozen corn.  

 

Oh boy . . .  usually you can rely on the frozen cobs of corn to at least taste half decent but meh . . .  this was nothing to write home about. 

  

Its a good thing the rest of the dinner more than made up for it!  Yum yum!

How to cook Homestyle Baked Haddock

1. Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Have ready a baking dish large enough to hold all of your fish in one layer with space in between each fillet. Spread one TBS of the melted butter on the bottom of the dish.
2. Wipe the fish dry and season it all over generously with salt and pepper. Lay in a single layer in the baking dish.
3. Combine the remaining butter and the cracker crumbs. Sprinkle these evenly over the fish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden brown and the fish flakes easily. Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
