Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, chopped parsley, and chopped dill. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
2
Arrange the haddock fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Press an even layer of the lemon-herb breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the top of each haddock fillet.
3
On the other side of the baking sheet, toss the trimmed asparagus spears with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.
4
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the haddock is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb crust is golden brown and crispy. The asparagus should be tender-crisp.
5
Carefully transfer the baked haddock and roasted asparagus to serving plates. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What other types of white fish can I use?

Cod, tilapia, snapper, or flounder are excellent substitutes for haddock in this recipe. Adjust baking time slightly if your fillets are thicker or thinner.

How do I ensure the fish stays moist and doesn't dry out?

Haddock cooks relatively quickly, so avoid overbaking. The breadcrumb crust helps to lock in moisture. Ensure your fillets are of similar thickness to promote even cooking. A general rule is to cook fish for 10 minutes per inch of thickness at 200°C (400°F).

Can I prepare the breadcrumb crust ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon zest, and olive oil a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will save a few minutes on prep time when you're ready to cook.
