baked haddock recipe Lemon-Parsley Crust and Paprika Edges

Description
Discover this baked haddock recipe with lemon-parsley crust and paprika edges – a truly simple, incredibly flavorful dish. Its golden, crisp topping and the bright scent of lemon and herbs promise a truly satisfying meal, perfect for healthy family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) haddock fillets
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 medium lemon (for 1 tsp zest, 1 Tbsp juice)
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep The Fish: Gently pat your haddock fillets very dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp crust. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Mix The Crust: In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Coat The Fish: Press the lemon-parsley crust mixture firmly onto the top side of each haddock fillet. Ensure good coverage, especially for those distinctive paprika edges.
- Bake To Perfection: Place the coated fillets on a light-colored baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. If the crust isn’t golden, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
Notes
For busy cooks, use bottled lemon juice or pre-chopped frozen parsley. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give fish space for even baking. Pat fish dry before seasoning to prevent a soggy crust. Haddock cooks quickly, so check for flakiness around the 12-minute mark to prevent overcooking (internal temp 145°F (63°C)).
