Select a cooking method for your haddock from the list below.
680 g Haddock Fillet 170g-225g / 6-8oz per person
Under a Grill or Broiler(USA)
Place some tin foil or baking parchment on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Place the fillets on the tray, season, and drizzle a little dressing over the top to stop them drying out. Cook for 5-7 minutes under the grill until the fish is opaque. Thicker fillets will take slightly longer.
On a BBQ or Grill (USA)
Tear off a length of tin foil, twice the width of the haddock fillet. Use a heavy-duty foil or double-layer it. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Place the fillet in the centre of the foil and add the dressing. Bring up the short sides then scrunch the long sides together along the top of the fillet to make a parcel.
The foil parcel will allow the haddock to steam over the BBQ or grill and stop it from getting stuck to the wire rack. Over a medium heat, bake the haddock for 6-8 minutes until it flakes easily. Cooking the haddock in foil pouches like this means you don't need to flip or turn the fish and it will stay warm.
How to Bake In the Oven
Baking is a great method if you're using a marinade. Pre-heat the oven to 160°C or 325°F.
Place your haddock fillets in an oven-proof dish and pour over the marinade. Bake for 25 minutes.
Notes
Ingredient Notes
Haddock fillets - fresh haddock should smell of the sea and not have a 'fishy' smell. As a guide, use 170-225g or 6-8oz of fillet per person. Cut larger fillets in two.
Seasoning Ideas
Haddock has a delicate flavour and easily takes on the flavours of seasoning. These are some seasoning suggestions that go well with Haddock. Lemon Zest and juice, minced garlic, dill, rosemary, chives, thyme, curry powder, spices, seafood rubs, cajun seasoning.
Marinades
Marinading is a great way to infuse haddock with some delicious flavours.When marinading in lemon juice, only marinade for 10 -15 minutes maximum, or the acidic lemon juice will start to cook the fish. For a more Asian flavour, I like this Ginger and soy marinade from Platter Talk. For more ideas, check out these 5 Mouthwatering Marinades for Fish from Better Fish
Storage
Fish is always best served fresh but you can store cooked haddock in the fridge for up to 2 days. Store in an airtight container to stop the smell from contaminating other food in your fridge.
