Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper. Pat haddock fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Pour the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until evenly coated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Evenly press the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each haddock fillet, forming a light crust. Ensure the topping adheres well to the fish.
  4. 4
    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crisp. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fillets.
  5. 5
    While the fish bakes, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. 6
    Remove the baked haddock from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sautéed green beans. Serve the baked haddock immediately with the sautéed green beans on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different white fish?

Yes, cod, sole, or tilapia are excellent substitutes for haddock in this recipe. Adjust baking time as needed for the thickness of the fillet.

Can I prepare the breadcrumb topping in advance?

You can mix the dry ingredients (breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, garlic) ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Add the melted butter just before applying to the fish to keep the panko crisp.

How can I make this gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, simply use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
