Best 5 Potato Crusted Haddock Recipes

POTATO-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil then turn the heat off and let it sit for at least 1 hour. (*Big tip: This can be done ahead and used for LOTS of different things.)
• Using a mandoline, slice 1 potato extremely thin, (paper thin), in elongated rounds. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean, dry work surface. Arrange 3 potato slices in an overlapping vertical line pressing them together as you put them on the parchment. Repeat this process until you have a 4 by 6-inch overlapping potato rectangle that replicates fish scales. Brush the potato "scales" with the infused oil and sprinkle with salt. Season the halibut with salt. Lay the halibut fillet closer to 1 end of the potato rectangle than the other and then roll the fish up in the potato slices, using the parchment to help facilitate the rolling. Press to compact and really adhere the potatoes to the fish. Brush the outside of the potatoes with the infused oil to seal the potatoes and to prevent the potatoes from turning brown, this will also help make a nice tight "fish package". Reserve the fish in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining fillets. Refrigerate the fillets for at least 1 hour before cooking.
• To cook the fish:
• Add the infused olive oil to a large nonstick saute pan until the bottom is generously covered and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and add to the pan. Cook the fish on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes frequently spooning the excess oil over the fish to "baste" it. The potatoes should be crispy golden brown and very well flavored and the fish will be succulent inside its crispy "scales". Transfer to serving plates and serve.

ZESTY HADDOCK WITH CRUSHED POTATOES & PEAS

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in cold water, bring to the boil, then turn to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins until tender, adding peas for the final min of cooking. Drain and roughly crush together, adding plenty of seasoning and 1 tbsp oil. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, for the dressing, mix 1 tbsp oil, the lemon juice and zest, capers and chives with some seasoning.
• Dust the fish in the flour, tapping off any excess and season. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked, then add the dressing and warm through. Serve with the crush and broccoli.

POTATO-CRUSTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Season cod with salt on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet and cook cod until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Combine grated potatoes, shallots, and egg in a bowl. Season with parsley, nutmeg, and salt. Spread potato mixture on top side of each cod fillet and sprinkle with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potato crust is lightly browned and cod flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

POTATO CHIP-CRUSTED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400f.
• Place haddock on a parchment paper-liined baking sheet and pat dry. Toss crushed potato chips with parsley, green onions, rosemary and lemon zest and set side.
• Spread an equal amount of mayonnaise over each piece of fish. Gently press crumb mixture onto the fillets. Bake for 12 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve with steamed vegetables.

BAKED HADDOCK & POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in thick slices (3mm approx.) and sprinkle with half the olive oil and salt.
• Cover a baking dish with the potatoes arranged in 2 layers.
• Add 1/4 glass of water and bake at 180°C while the rest of the recipe is being prepared (about 20 minutes).
• Put the rest of the olive oil into a frying-pan.
• Add the garlic and the red hot pepper (just a couple of slices per fillet will do, the recipe does not have to be too hot).
• Prepare a mixture with the rest of the water, the vinegar, salt and white pepper.
• When the garlic gets golden, add the mixture, and let cook for another 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and olive oil.
• Put the haddock fillets on top of the potatoes and pour the mixture with the garlic over them.
• Bake for another 15 minutes or until done (the colour changes to white).
