Ingredients

• 4 pieces haddock fillets
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece lemon
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

Step 5

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat and heat over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 8–10 minutes until the onions become soft and caramelized.

Step 7

Stir in the thyme and about half of the crumbled bacon, mixing well.

Step 8

Place the haddock fillets on top of the onion-bacon mixture in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the haddock is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets. Garnish with the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
