Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Haddock fillets
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, optional) Fresh parsley
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 4

Starting with one fillet at a time, dredge it in flour, ensuring it is evenly coated and shaking off any excess. Next, dip the fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated on all sides.

Step 5

Place the coated haddock fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 9

Serve Eleanor’s Oven-Fried Haddock with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or lemon wedges for an extra zing.
