Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) haddock fillets
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cups bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Season the haddock fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper, then place them in a single layer in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth paste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Continue whisking and cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the haddock fillets in the casserole dish, ensuring all the fillets are covered.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, parsley, and olive oil until combined.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
