Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh haddock filets
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) parsley
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the haddock filets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until evenly combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the haddock filets.

Step 5

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the filets, pressing gently to ensure it sticks and covers the surface of each filet completely.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to encourage browning.

Step 7

Bake the haddock in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a minute before serving.

Step 9

Serve the baked haddock warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Pair with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
