For the Parmesan Crusted Haddock with Panko and Herbs
1-½lbhaddock fish filets
1TbspDijon mustard
2Tbspheavy cream
½cupplain panko breadcrumbs
1Tbspchopped fresh chives
1Tbspchopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
½tspHerbs de Provence blend
1Tbspfreshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼tspkosher salt
pinchfresh cracked pepper
1Tbspextra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F.
For the asparagus
On a rimmed bake sheet, lay the asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil, and season well with salt, pepper, and seasoning.
Bake until spears are tender but not soft and tips are slightly charred, approximately 15 minutes at 400°F.
For the haddock
While the asparagus spears are cooking, prepare the fish. Lay the haddock out on a bake sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon and cream. Brush the top of the fish with the Dijon-cream mixture.
Separately in a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chives, parsley, Herbs de Provence, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Transfer to a plate.
Take each fish filet, invert, and press the side brushed with the Dijon-cream mixture into the panko-herb mixture. Place back on the bake sheet, skin-side down and panko-coated top up. If desired, you can sprinkle any leftover panko over the fish as well.
Bake at 400°F for 6-7 minutes until fish just flakes with a fork (see Notes). Remove fish from the oven, switch to broil, and broil the fish briefly, 1 inch from the heat, until the crumb topping is lightly browned.
Notes
If your fillets of haddock are thin, cook 6 minutes before switching to broil. If fish is thicker, then cook 7 minutes. Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork - we want the fish to cook just to that point, then finish under the broiler.Because of the olive oil, the panko crumbs will toast quickly under the broiler so keep watch on it. One inch under the broiler, they will brown in under a minute.Estimated calorie count is for the haddock. The roast asparagus is 37 calories per serving.
