Oven cooked Haddock with Herbed Breadcrumbs

Fish make a quick, easy yet delectable dish with the ingredients readily available in your pantry. Haddock fillets came to my rescue on a Saturday night when I was tired of the general weekend routine. The dinner was done and dusted within twenty minutes and it looked like a Michelin  star restaurant dish. Arun was ready with two glasses of wine while I served him a great looking and delicious dinner!! Saturday was well spent at home.



Ingredients:

  • 2 fresh haddock fillets 
  • handful of cherry tomatoes (I used the normal ones as I didn't have cherry tomatoes)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves of garlic (peeled and grated)
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs (I used Japanese penko crumbs, you can use the normal ones too)
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • handful of fresh parsley or 1 tbsp of dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to season
Method: 
  1. Preheat the oven to 220 degree Celsius. Lightly oil a large baking tray, then lay the haddock and tomatoes alongside each other. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the grates garlic, then spread evenly over the fillets.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, lemon juice and parsley, and season to your taste. Cover the fillets with the breadcrumbs until top is fully covered. 
  3. Bake the fillets for 10-12 minutes or till the fillets are light when pressed and the crust is golden and crunchy.
