This is one of the nicest haddock recipes I have.
It combines this lovely fresh fish with a mix of vegetables and herbs, all of which is popped into the oven and baked.
This is an easy recipe that can be prepped a few hours ahead and left refrigerated in the baking dish until you are ready to bake it.
Just take it out of the fridge 30 minutes to warm the baking dish a bit. Then bake it for a few extra minutes if it is still cold from the refrigerator.
Fish is an excellent part of a healthy diet and haddock is a wonderful fish to serve. It is a firm fish and quite mild and delicate in flavor.
If you want you can replace the butter called for in this recipe with an equal amount of vegetable oil (I like grapeseed oil) or coconut oil for sautéing. The coconut oil adds a very subtle coconut flavor, which is delicious, and is extremely healthy.

This recipe makes a good diabetes diet recipe. Diabetic recipes should be fairly low carb and this one isn’t too bad. You can easily cut the amount of bread crumbs you use in half and the recipe will still taste great. To me, great cooking is knowing that you can adjust most recipes to suit your needs or taste and still have it taste fantastic.
To make this recipe gluten free, replace the regular bread crumbs with a gluten free version.

I found this recipe while looking for something else than tomatoes and zucchini for vegetables, and this fit the bill. I added carrots, mainly for color, but also because how can you go wrong with some added carrots, and garlic, because – garlic! I was a bit skeptical about the breadcrumbs, especially since they would be under the tomatoes, and I must say, the topping came out very doughy. Flavors were very good, but I would make this again without the breadcrumbs. Kind of disappointed, but I did get a new idea for baking haddock!
