Baked Haddock
I was inspired to cook a better-than-average meal for Valentine's Day, 2012. Haddock fillets were on sale at a local store for $4.99 a pound, so I started there. Here was my menu--Baked Haddock with Ritz Cracker Crumbs & Shrimp Cheddar Cream Sauce, Raw Cauliflower with Bleu Cheese Dip, Pickled Beets, Steamed Asparagus Cuts, & Fresh Fruit Salad. And here is the recipe for the baked haddock I made:
Baked Haddock with Ritz Cracker Crumbs
1 lb. haddock (or other white fish) skinless fillets (2 fillets), rinsed & patted dry
1/4 c. (4T.) butter, melted
3 T. white cooking wine (other dry wine)
1 T. lemon juice
10 Ritz (or other buttery cracker), crackers, crushed in a plastic bag with
1/4 tsp. onion powder, 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed, & 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Crush crackers with dry seasonings. Melt butter, wine, & lemon juice in the microwave oven in a flat container large enough to allow dipping the fish fillets. Locate a baking dish large enough to lay the fillets flat, in a single layer, & lightly coat with cooking oil.
Dip rinsed fillets in the butter mixture & place them in a flat layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle crumbs evenly on top of the fillets & drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the top. Bake in the center of the oven for approximately 30 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork & should look opaque. Don't overcook! Serves 2-3 & can be topped with Shrimp Cheddar Cream Sauce.
