Why Eat More Fish?
As a Registered Dietitian, helping people find delicious ways to incorporate nutritious foods is one area of my expertise.
Fish is definitely a nutritious food that many of us could eat more of. Aiming for 2 servings of fish per week has been recommended by organizations like Health Canada and the American Heart Association, as research has found that doing so is associated with a lower risk of things like heart attack and stroke for people with existing heart disease.
Additionally, fish like haddock is a great source of lean protein. This means that it is lower in calories but still high in protein – making fish and shellfish recipes a great choice to add to your weekly dinner rotation.

Ingredients
For the Haddock:
- 1 lb haddock filets
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Herb & Parmesan Crust:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat panko crumbs
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, (parmigiano reggiano)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried chives
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Equipment
1 Oven-safe baking dish
Instructions
Grease or spray baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange haddock filets in the dish and pat dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
Brush the top of haddock filets with the mayonnaise, dijon, and garlic mixture to coat.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, stir together all of the herb & parmesan crust ingredients.
Using a spoon, gently sprinkle the crust mixture on top of each of the haddock filets and pat down with the back of the spoon.
Bake at 425F for 7-10 minutes until fish flakes easily and crust is golden.
If needed, switch the oven to broil and broil the fish for 1 minute at the end to get that nice golden crust. If you do this, keep an eye on it and be careful not to burn/overcook the fish!
Remove from the baking dish and serve.
