Parmesan Crusted Haddock
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose panko (or use garlic or lemon pepper-found here)
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 green onions, green tops only thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed (approx. 1/2 lemon)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pounds fresh haddock fillet
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsely finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly butter a baking dish.
- In medium bowl, mix together the cheese, breadcrumbs, butter, mayonnaise, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside until needed.
- Pat the fish fillets completely dry with paper towels (removing the moisture ensures they won’t get mushy while baking); season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish in baking dish.
- Spread the cheese mixture over each fillet.
- Place in preheated oven and bake until bubbly and almost cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Move fillets to broiler for about 2 minutes to brown and crisp the tops. When done, the fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
