Baked Haddock With Brown Butter Recipes

NEW ENGLAND BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
• Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
• Spread bread crumbs - all of them - evenly over the top of the fish. I use my hands to sprinkle it on (it won't really stick like traditional breading - it's more like a topping).
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked thoroughly (and flakes easily).
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.

HADDOCK WITH BROWN BUTTER WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the fish and pat dry
• Squeeze the Lemon Juice over the Fillets and then season generously with Salt and Pepper (The salt and pepper are where the seasoning comes from as the sauce is very subtle in flavor, so be generous).
• Add a dash of cayenne to each fillet.
• Then lightly dredge the fillets in flour.
• In a hot pan over med to med-high heat, melt the butter and heat the oil and thyme sprigs.
• Once warm/hot, add the fillets.
• Cook over med to med high heat for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Preheat oven to 200 F.
• Let fish rest in oven on a tray while you make the sauce.
• In the recently vacated fish pan, add 2 TBS Butter and the thyme sprigs.
• Over medium heat cook until the butter has just started to turn brown and smells slightly nutty.
• Add the wine and increase the heat to med-high.
• Let the wine reduce/cook down to half, then add the cream.
• Reduce heat to med-low and let cook for about 3 minutes or until cream has started to slightly thicken.
• Serve immediately drizzled over the haddock fillets.

FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)

Steps:

• 1. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• 2. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. (I like to season the flour with salt and pepper as well.)
• 3. When pan is hot, add olive oil followed immediately by 1-2 tablespoons butter.
• 4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
• 5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
• 6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
• 7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
• 8. Remove to a warm plate.
• 9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
• 11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
• 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
• 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.

BAKED HADDOCK WITH BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For Fish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease by spritzing or drizzling olive oil over it.
• Place fish, skin side down, on cookie sheet.
• Lightly spritz or drizzle olive oil on top of fish fillets.
• Lightly season with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, paprika & parsley.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes (depending on thickness) until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Drizzle with brown butter and serve immediately. Enjoy :)
• For Brown Butter:
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to a saucepan. Don't walk away, stay by saucepan during whole process - it only takes a few minutes start to finish and can burn easily.
• Over medium to medium high heat, melt butter and continually whisk or swirl butter.
• Butter will start to foam up, keeping whisking or swirling. You'll notice little brown specks at the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and continue to whisk or swirl for a few seconds.
• This stuff is HOT so don't go sticking pastry brushes in it right away (I speak from experience lol). Let rest for a minute and use a metal spoon to drizzle over fish.

• Heat a medium saute pan to a medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Add mushrooms. Cook 2-3 minutes or until mushrooms are brown. Add garlic, green beans and salt. Saute until green beans are bright green and slightly softened, but still have a bite to them. Season with salt and pepper.
