Categories     Seafood

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1-1.5 lbs. haddock (patted dry (or cod))
1 cup plain breadcrumbs (or seasoned, see note)
6 tablespoons salted butter (melted (see notes))
kosher salt and black pepper
lemon wedges and fresh parsley (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
  • Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
  • Spread bread crumbs - all of them - evenly over the top of the fish. I use my hands to sprinkle it on (it won't really stick like traditional breading - it's more like a topping).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked thoroughly (and flakes easily).
  • Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, flaky white fish like cod, haddock, or pollock works best. You can also use catfish or tilapia.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: Fresh fish has a mild, briny smell and firm flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has soft, mushy flesh.
  • Use a light hand with the breading: Too much breading will make the fish greasy and heavy. Just enough to coat the fish is all you need.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it's golden brown and flaky: The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

New England fried fish is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious. With its crispy breading and flaky fish, it's a surefire hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
