Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) haddock fillets
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh tarragon leaves
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons (melted) butter
• 4 pieces (for garnish) lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the haddock fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped fresh tarragon, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

Step 4

Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Spread the Dijon-tarragon sauce evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the sauced haddock fillets to create a crispy topping.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the fish to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the baked haddock with a lemon wedge on the side and garnish with a sprig of tarragon if desired.
