Ingredient Notes

The four main ingredients are haddock fillets, lemon, fresh parsley, and garlic. Pay attention to choose fresh, white, and firm haddock fillets. Any brand of lemons would do, but for garlic, go for fresh ones. Fresh parsley adds an aromatic touch. Proportion-wise, adjust based on preference.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin by preheating the broiler.
2. Arrange haddock fillets on a baking sheet.
3. Drizzle each fillet with a mixture of garlic and lemon juice.
4. Broil until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 10-12 minutes.
5. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Things I’ve Learned

Fish tends to overcook easily in broilers, so keep a close eye. If you’re out of haddock, cod or pollock make good substitutes. Stored leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain the crispy texture. The dish can be prepared ahead and broiled just before serving.
