Baked Haddock

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program.

Time: 30 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients
· about 1 LB haddock fillets
· Spice blend made with a dash or 2 of each: garlic salt, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika 
· A few dashes of lemon Juice
· 1 cup bread crumbs (panko or regular)
· 2-3 tablespoons butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 

Rinse and pat dry fish fillets and dredge in spice mix on both sides. Lay fish in a baking dish. 

Pour a few dashes of lemon juice on the haddock and sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the whole tray of fish. Cut butter into small chunks and lay on top of the fish trying to keep them evenly spread. 

Place in oven for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness. The fish is done when it is opaque and falls apart easily with a fork. Do not overcook!

Whole Baked Rock Cod

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 45 min
Serves: 6

Ingredients
· 1 whole rock cod, gutted (about 2 lbs)
· 2 tablespoons frying oil

Seasoning A:
· ¾ teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon rice wine
· 2 teaspoon sesame oil
· 1 tablespoon frying oil
· 1 ¾ teaspoon five-spice powder

Shredded Ingredients:
· 3 pieces of bacon
· 1 leek
· 4 slices ginger
· A few pinches or coriander

Seasoning B:
· ¼ cup chicken stock
· 1 ½ tablespoon rice wine
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· ¼ cup light soy sauce
· 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
· 2 tablespoons frying oil

Directions
Cut the fish in half lengthwise, cutting right up through the head but do not sever along the top of the back so the fish can be pressed out flat in one piece. Remove the gills. Rinse fish well.

Rub the fish all over with seasoning A and let sit 5 or 10 minutes. 

Heat a baking pan in the oven at 425 degrees F for a few minutes, remove baking pan and add frying oil. Carefully spread the fish skin upwards on the pan and arrange the shredded ingredients on top. Pour Seasoning B ingredients over fish. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes - baste the fish a few times while it cooks.

We enjoyed this main course with roasted potatoes and cherry tomatoes, sautéed green beans, a massaged kale salad and Spanish rice.

SOLE FILLETS WITH HERBED WINE SAUCE

Recipe courtesy of Food and Wine. Click the button below to access the recipe.

This recipe is honestly one of my new favorites! It feel rich and decadent and is easy to make. This recipe is perfect for any type of local flounder such as grey sole, winter flounder, yellowtail flounder, summer flounder, american plaice, or dabs! I’ve also tried it with tautog and black sea bass and baked it vs broiling it and kept it in the oven for longer until the fish was flakey when I poked a fork into it. Make sure you have lots of bread for dipping in the sauce too.

NORWEGIAN FISH SOUP

During the class chef Noah showed us a very cool way to butterfly and remove the bones from the whiting. This method is the same method that is more commonly used on sardines. Click this link to learn how to do it. If you can’t find whiting you could also use any mild flavored flaky white fish.

Monkfish is delicious and we highly recommend trying it but if you can’t find monkfish this would also be very tasty with a flakey white fish such as haddock, pollock, acadian redfish, cusk, hake, sea robin, or tautog.
