This is truly the best recipe I have ever tried for haddock! This last time I bought panko crumbs they only had the plain so I did add salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and Italian seasonings to the panko. I cook my filet for 8 minutes and check with a thermometer. Usually it’s about 130-135 F so then I add about 3 – 5 more minutes and recheck to make sure it has reached the 165F mark. I do add a slice of lemon and I also use my own tartar sauce. The haddock is always moist, flakes easily and taste is just awesome! I just love this recipe and it’s the one I use regularly now.

Excellent recipe. I added Parmesan to the Panko . Never knew to add mayo to egg. Made for a wonderful crust
Caryn
This seems very bland. I’m going to give it a try.
Sam
Absolutely delicious. Crispy on outside, juicy on the inside. We make this weekly now!! Only thing we altered was leaving the mayo out & adding some adobo on both sides of the breaded fish.
Definitely a MUST try.

This recipe did NOT disappoint!! It was definitely a crowd pleaser. The only thing I did differently was used lemon pepper instead of black pepper. Thank you so much for this recipe! Oh, for the vegetarians, I also sliced hearts of palm for air fried “scallops”.
