Crispy Pan-Fried Haddock with Garlic Butter Sauce

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Larry's Catch Wild Atlantic Haddock, cut into 4 fillets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal or breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

For Serving:

  • Lemon wedges
  • Steamed vegetables or a side of rice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Haddock

    • Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance their flavour.

  2. Prepare the Coating

    • In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal or breadcrumbs, paprika, and garlic powder. This combination creates a crispy, golden crust that complements the haddock's tender interior.

  3. Coat the Haddock

    • Dredge each haddock fillet in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on both sides. Shake off any excess.

  4. Pan-Fry the Haddock

    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the coated haddock fillets in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the coating.
    • Once cooked through, transfer the fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

  5. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Add the lemon juice and fresh parsley, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

  6. Serve

    • Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the crispy haddock fillets. Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of steamed vegetables or rice.
