Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and melt 4 tbsp of unsalted butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Pat your haddock fillets dry and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice.
  3. Place the seasoned fillets in the melted butter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  5. Press the panko mixture onto the top of each fish fillet for a generous coating.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the topping is a mahogany color and the fish flakes easily.
  7. For extra crunch, broil for an additional minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
