PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
- Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

GRILLED HADDOCK {WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE}
This deliciously tender Grilled Haddock (with lemon cream sauce) is a wonderfully light and tangy way to enjoy this fabulous sustainable cod relative! The haddock has a slightly less dense meat than cod, but also a note of sweetness that combines superbly with my easy lemon cream sauce for white fish!!

Steps:
- Rinse and pat your haddock dry using paper towels.
- On a countertop lay out a section of tinfoil for each fillet you will be having. Lightly coat with brushed olive oil or use non stick cooking spray on the inside of each foil sheet.
- Arrange 2-3 lemon slices (depending on the size of your fillets) in a line down the center of each packet.
- Season each fillet (salt, pepper, dill weed) then set the haddock fillets on the lemon slices. Wrap each fillet in the foil being sure it is completely sealed with the seam facing upward.
- Place foil packs on grill over a medium heat. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your haddock. Remove from heat and check your fillets for the fish to be done.
- Bring a small saucepan with the olive oil to medium high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the minced onion and saute for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
- Reduce heat to low, and add in the heavy cream. Once the cream is warmed, add the butter and cook until it is melted. Add the lemon zest and juice, then continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Add in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it is fully melted. Spoon the lemon cream sauce over your grilled haddock and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh haddock fillets, Ritz crackers, butter, lemon, and herbs.
- Use Ritz Crackers for a Unique Taste: Ritz crackers add a unique flavor and texture to the crust. Make sure to crush them finely so that they adhere to the haddock.
- Season the Ritz Cracker Crust Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. Add a generous amount of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cracker crumbs for a flavorful crust.
- Add Moisture with Butter: Butter helps bind the cracker crumbs together and adds richness to the crust. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Grill the Haddock Over Medium Heat: Medium heat is ideal for grilling the haddock. This will prevent the fish from burning and ensure that it cooks through evenly.
- Baste the Haddock with Butter: Basting the haddock with melted butter during grilling keeps it moist and flavorful. This also helps the cracker crust stay crispy.
- Serve with Lemon Wedges: Lemon wedges add a bright, acidic flavor that complements the rich taste of the haddock. They also help to balance the fattiness of the butter.

Buttery Ritz Haddock on the Grill is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout.
