Provided by á-73721

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 (6 oz) cod, haddock or pollock, thawed if frozen
6 c water
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp salt
1 c butter, melted, divided
Paprika

Steps:

  • Mix the water, sugar and salt together in a 2 qt pan, bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the fish fillets. Make sure they are completely covered. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes if fillets are an inch or more thick, 3-4 minutes if less than an inch thick. Remove with slotted spatula, drain on paper towels and pat dry. Preheat broiler (spray broiler pan or cookie sheet with non-stick spray). Pour 1/2 c of butter into a bowl. Dip each piece of fish, turning to coat thoroughly. Place fish on broiler pan or cookie sheet and pour the butter from the bowl used for dipping on top of the fish. Sprinkle fish with paprika. Broil 8 minutes for each inch of thickness. Use remaining 1/2 c butter as to dip fish in.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Haddock: Choose haddock fillets that are firm, plump, and have a mild, briny aroma. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen haddock, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Avoid thawing haddock at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
  • Pat Dry: Before cooking, pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the breading adhere better and results in a crispier crust.
  • Seasoning: Season the haddock fillets generously with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices before coating them in the breading mixture. This enhances the flavor of the fish.
  • Crusty Coating: Create a flavorful and crispy coating by combining breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika, and dried oregano. This mixture adds a delicious crust to the haddock.
  • Buttery Pan-Frying: Pan-fry the haddock fillets in a large skillet with melted butter over medium heat. The butter adds a rich, buttery flavor to the fish and helps it cook evenly.
  • Golden Brown Perfection: Cook the haddock fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flipping the fillets carefully to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Lemon Wedge Garnish: Serve the cooked haddock fillets with a wedge of lemon. The tangy citrus flavor of the lemon complements the richness of the fish and adds a refreshing touch.
