Broiled Haddock
If you're looking for a simple to prepare and healthy fish entree, you've met your match! I usually spend part of my Lenten season dreaming up ways to cook fish and thinking of recipes without using meat.
This fish recipe will be easy to remember, this year!
How to Cook Haddock in a Pan
I don't know about you but for the first 30 years of my life, the whole concept of broiling had me downright baffled.
I have since learned that broiling makes the heat emerge from the top of the oven and is a great tool for cooking fish! Think of it like an upside down grill, if you will.
Preheat your oven to broil and put the oven baking rack on the top level or two. You want the pan to be four to five inches from the broiler element.
In the meantime, grab a baking pan.
I like to line my rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up. You can spray the pan with cooking spray if you like.
Put the haddock filets on the sheet and brush with olive oil. Don't skip this step or you'll have dry, tasteless fish!
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over all the fish. Give a little food love with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Add the seasoned pan of fish and broil for 6-8 minutes or just until the fish starts to get a golden color. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the haddock broils, grab a medium sized bowl. Toss the tomatoes and basil with the remaining oil, salt & pepper. Set aside.
Plate the broiled haddock and top with the tomato basil mixture.
It doesn't get more simple than that!
