Haddock is a mild, slightly sweet white fish with a medium flake. It is a great option for those who don't usually enjoy fish. It can be cooked in a frying pan and is a simple, quick, and healthy meal. This fish is sturdy and can be cooked in a variety of ways, including frying, searing, and baking. It can be seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. It can also be coated in flour, butter, and oil, or eggs and breadcrumbs for a crispier texture. It is usually cooked for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

What You'll Learn
Pan-fried haddock with lemon caper sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 haddock fillets
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of capers
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Fresh herbs, to taste
Method:
First, remove the haddock fillets from the fridge and pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and seasonings. Coat the fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the seasoned fillets to the pan. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, without touching them, until they are golden brown and opaque throughout.
Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the lemon juice, capers, and herbs to the pan. Stir well, then drizzle the sauce over the fillets. Serve immediately, with your choice of sides.
Tips:
- To test if the fish is ready to flip, use a thin metal spatula to slide under the fillet. If the spatula slides underneath without the fish sticking to the pan, it's ready to flip.
- You can also serve this dish with a lemon and caper topping, made by gently cooking garlic, preserved lemon, and capers in olive oil for 2 minutes, then spooning over the cooked fish.

Pan-fried haddock with garlic
Ingredients:
- Haddock fillets (fresh or thawed if frozen)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Garlic powder or cloves
- All-purpose flour (optional)
- Eggs (optional)
- Panko breadcrumbs (optional)
- Olive oil
- Butter
Method:
- Start by removing any moisture from the haddock fillets. Use a paper towel or a clean linen cloth to pat the fillets dry. This step is important to ensure a crispy exterior when frying.
- Seasoning the fish: There are two popular methods for seasoning the haddock fillets:
- Method 1: In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour with your desired seasonings. A suggested spice mixture includes 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Place the haddock fillets in the flour mixture and coat all sides liberally.
- Method 2: Season the fillets directly with salt and pepper on both sides. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder or dried parsley.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan, ensuring it covers the surface evenly. You may also add a tablespoon of butter to the oil for extra flavor. Heat the oil until it becomes 'slick'-looking and butter is melted but not browned.
- Cooking the garlic (optional): If you want to include garlic in your dish, thinly slice some garlic cloves and add them to the hot oil. Sauté the garlic, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes until it turns golden and becomes fragrant. Keep a close eye on the garlic to avoid burning. Once done, remove the garlic from the pan and set it aside.
- Cooking the haddock: Place the seasoned haddock fillets into the hot oil, ensuring there is enough oil underneath. If your fillets have skin, place them skin-side down. The fish should start to sizzle immediately. Do not touch, shake, or move the fish once it's in the pan.
- Cooking time: For a 5-6 ounce fillet, cook the haddock for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden and caramelized. You can also test if the fish is ready to flip by sliding a thin metal spatula under the fillet. If the fish doesn't stick to the pan, it's ready to be flipped.
- Flipping the fillets: After the first side is done, flip the fillets carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until done. The fish is fully cooked when it flakes apart easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
- Serving: Once the haddock is cooked to your desired level, remove it from the pan and serve immediately. You can top the fillets with the sautéed garlic or garnish with fresh herbs.
Enjoy your delicious pan-fried haddock with garlic! It goes well with sides like roasted baby potatoes, a simple Greek salad, or wild rice.
