What if I told you this is the easiest fish recipe (besides broiling) that you’ll ever find. And it’s delicious and healthy!
We all know that we should eat more fish, but most fish recipes are…well…too fishy! Or too hard to make.
Trust me…this is an easy recipe your kids can make.
I LOVE feeding my family fish for many reasons. Fish is
- healthy
- easy to chew
- doesn’t require cutting into tiny bits
- delicious
Now, this recipe is the most basic recipe, but still yummy. This was the exact recipe I grew up on.
Baked Haddock – Easiest Fish Recipe You’ll Ever Find
Ingredients
- 2 lbs haddock filets skin removed
- 1 sleeve Ritz Crackers
- 2-3 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Melt butter in oval casserole dish. Add filets.
- Crush up crackers in sealed storage-sized ziploc bag. Completely cover the fish with the crushed up crackers. (Add more crackers if fish is not fully covered.)
- Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Fish should be white, not clear. Will flake when you try to open it with a fork. Don't overbake.
However, you can make a lot of changes to this easy recipe to best fit your family’s unique tastes. I’ll show you the recipe and then I’ll tell you all the ways you can change up this simple recipe.
Your kids can also make this recipe and have a blast “smashing” the breadcrumbs in the ziploc bag. (Some days even mom will enjoy this part of the recipe!)
Not that it needs it…but how can you change this recipe to fit your family’s unique tastes?
One way is that you can change the “bread crumbs” to Italian flavored bread crumbs or to Panko breadcrumbs. You can also add any sort of herbs or seasonings you like to the crumb topping.
You can even change the fish from haddock to cod, lake fish, or even salmon.
Serve this recipe with flavored rice (such as Rice Pilaf) and steamed vegetables. I also like to expose my kids to additional items such as lemon wedges and a simple tartar sauce.
I truly hope you and your family enjoy this delicious and incredibly easy recipe.
