Ingredients

• 4 fillets haddock fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 small, finely chopped shallots
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and frothy.

Step 3

Add the haddock fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the finely chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard, mixing well to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley to the sauce, stirring to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Return the cooked haddock fillets to the skillet, spooning the mustard sauce over the fish to coat. Let the fillets warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the haddock fillets immediately, garnished with additional parsley, if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
