This Baked Haddock Recipe is the most POPULAR recipe on this site!

Today I’m sharing my (not so) secret trick to make each & every piece of white fish you make taste marvelous. It’s simple, it’s easy, it’s….butter!  Brown butter to be exact 😉

I LOVE all things fish & seafood. It’s delicate, it’s delicious & it’s nutritious. To top it all off – seafood is quick to make and doesn’t require many ingredients to turn into something spectacular.

Seafood Is Not Only Delicious – It’s Nutritious!

The USDA recommends Americans eat at least two servings of seafood per week to take in adequate amounts of lean protein, omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals. Eating seafood twice a week leads to healthier hearts, healthier brains and better nutrition!

Two servings of seafood is a pleasure to add to any weekly menu. It’s simple to do, too.

Ingredients & Instructions

What’s great about this Baked Haddock with Brown Butter recipe is it can be made with any white fish you prefer. I use haddock but flounder, cod, halibut, pollock, grouper, hake – really any mild white fish you’d like will be wonderful.  

Spritz it with a bit of olive oil, lightly season it and bake for about 15- 20 minutes.  

Drizzle it with brown butter and voilá – dinner is served!

I swear, brown butter takes a simple piece of fish from good to gourmet. Serve with your favorite green veggie or salad and dinner is complete! This fabulous dinner can be all yours without much time, attention or clean up.

Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
Course Fish &amp, Seafood
Servings 3 -4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 12-16 oz of haddock fillets or white fish of choice
  • olive oil
  • salt pepper, paprika & dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • 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.

    Thank you, Amanda…..I cooked dinner tonight to give my wife a rest….a promotion from my usual role as prep cook. Your recipe for haddock with browned butter worked beautifully, and is virtually foolproof, which is what I need at age 81. I look forward to more pearls from you.

    I was searching for a easy and quick recipe for haddock I defrosted. I was running late with dinner so I didn’t have much time. I was a bit intimidated by the preparation of the brown butter. I tried this & it was really delicious. Preparing the brown butter was a cinch! I’d make this again

    This was excellent. Last time I cooked my haddock in a lemon sauce and while I enjoyed it, my family was fussing. So this is why I went looking for a different flavor. I didnt even know brown butter was such a thing…I was picturing brown sugar mixed with butter haha…but wow!!! My fussy 6 year old son said aloud, “Mom! This is amazing” …and went on to name all the good food I cook….thanks so much for this recipe :))

    A very neat trick is to take butter you use to pan-sear scallops (it pretty much turns to brown butter at the end of the process) and pour that over your fish. Bam, scallop flavored brown butter for your fish!

    Despite seemingly simple, this recipe is absolutely fantastic. Third week in a row of making this as a ‘treat’ for myself as the other family members are not fans of fish other than salmon. The browned butter makes this scrumptious. I add sliced garden fresh cherry tomatoes and bake those at the same time.

    I do not make fish. My husband is on a diet and eats alot of fish. At the last minute with bad weather he wasn’t in the mood to grill fish. I looked up baked fish, found your recipe and picked it for the simplicity of making it. It was beyond easy and my husband was raving about it! Said it was better than any restaurant. Thank you! I now know how to make fish for dinner!

    Delicious recipe, thank you! I’m from the northeast so haddock was always on my mom’s menu. I missed having it for decades but 3 years ago I found it at Whole Foods. Their fish is amazing and not very expensive. This recipe will be on our food rotation. I had forgotten about brown butter. Highly recommend the recipe! Thank you, Amanda!

    So I have to admit I did not make the brown butter. I am a nurse and reheating things at work does not always work out. But even without the brown butter this was excellent. Flavorful and so delicious. When I am home i plan on making this again with the brown butter to really try it but those of you that work even without it. it is amazing with just the few spices
