Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6-8 ounces each) fresh haddock fillets
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 (zested and juiced) lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a clean plate.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 5

Add the melted butter, olive oil, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice to the breadcrumb mixture. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 6

Place the haddock fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and brush them lightly with the remaining lemon juice.

Step 7

Press the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the tops of the haddock fillets, ensuring each piece is completely covered in the mixture.

Step 8

Bake the haddock in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with additional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy Dad's secret family favorite!
