Ingredients

• 4 pieces haddock fillets
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 whole lemon
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fillets and let them sit for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, place the cornstarch. This is your first dredging component.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, pour the almond milk. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the fish.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.

Step 6

Start dredging each haddock fillet by first coating it lightly in cornstarch. Make sure to shake off any excess.

Step 7

Next, dip the cornstarch-coated fillet into the almond milk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 8

Finally, press the haddock into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a good, even coat on both sides.

Step 9

Place the breaded haddock fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help achieve a golden crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breading is crispy and golden. The fish should flake easily with a fork.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let sit for a minute before serving. Serve your Dairy-Free Crispy Breaded Haddock with lemon wedges and your choice of sides.
