Baked Haddock with Lemon Butter

This recipe is a simple yet flavorful way to prepare haddock, a mild-flavored fish that pairs well with the brightness of lemon and the richness of butter. The dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The haddock is baked in the oven with a compound butter made from softened butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice, resulting in a moist and flaky fish with a deliciously citrusy flavor. Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a well-rounded meal.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving enough room for the haddock fillets to fit in a single layer.
2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3
Place the haddock fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each fillet. Top each fillet with a pat of the lemon butter mixture, making sure to spread it evenly over the fish.
4
Bake the haddock in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
