New England Fish Bake Recipes

NEW ENGLAND BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
• Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
• Spread bread crumbs - all of them - evenly over the top of the fish. I use my hands to sprinkle it on (it won't really stick like traditional breading - it's more like a topping).
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked thoroughly (and flakes easily).
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.

DELICIOUS NEW ENGLAND BAKED COD FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish with one tablespoon of melted butter and set aside.
• If fish is in large pieces, cut it into smaller portion sizes. Season cod fillets with salt and pepper on each side and place them in the baking dish.
• In a food processor, chop the Ritz crackers until a rough crumb is formed. You don't want them super fine, but processed enough to have some larger pieces.
• In a bowl, combine melted butter and crushed Ritz crackers.
• Sprinkle crumbs on top of the seasoned fish.
• Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until crackers are golden brown and fish is no longer opaque. It should be white, and flaky.
