Grilled Haddock

Grilling the Haddock Fillets

Last night Grilled Haddock was on our menu!  It is always very easy to prepare and is also a delicious dinner.  The Haddock fillets are coated with Olive Oil, Paprika and Thyme and then placed in a grilling basket on the grill.  Before you know it, it is ready to be served along with a vegetable and a salad.  On a warm evening it comes in handy to remember grilling is an option at dinner time.

One day last week it was pleasantly warm outside.  Earlier that day about 1 pound of Haddock fillets had been purchased from our grocery store.  The day passed way too quickly and before I realized it, I needed to make decisions about dinner!  I knew we would be enjoying this seafood prepared- some way.  Exactly how I wasn't sure.  That was when our grill came in handy!  It was the first time this Spring that we enjoyed Grilled Haddock!  It is so easy to prepare and takes a short amount of time to grill.  A grilling basket/ container comes in very handy here!  A sauce is not needed to add extra flavor.  The Paprika and Thyme work so well here.

Haddock fillets will be added to our next grocery list.  If the day is pleasant outside, that is probably how I will prepare this seafood, again!

Enjoy!

Grilled Haddock Dinner

Grilled Haddock Dinner!

The sun is shining and we are surely making up for the chilly damp days of spring.  This AM I was unsure what we would have for dinner.  When I asked my DH, he reminded me of a blog - A Tasty Thought by JG.  It is summer and suddenly I remembered my top blog post of ALL time.  So, it was definitely a day to purchase the fresh "wild caught" Haddock in our local grocery store and find my grill basket, because it's outdoor grilling time tonight!  This recipe is very easy & yes, previously frozen "wild caught" Haddock also tastes great!

Baked Haddock

Waiting for warmer weather!

Looking out onto our deck four days ago only a small amount of snow was in sight!  Woohoo!  Glancing slightly to the left our much used grill sits... patiently waiting.  I was thinking about grilling fish.  Grilled Fish is so tasty and so easy to prepare.  However, around dinner stepping outside with a winter coat to grill seems... well, frankly, it's uncomfortable.

It's at these times that baking a fillet of fish in my warm kitchen is the thing to do!  There will be plenty of time for grilling.  When?  I don't know, but I'm sure there will be!  BTW Baked Haddock is delicious!  So there's no need to step in snow to prep dinner.

The method of baking Haddock is similar to grilling Haddock.  However, 2 Bay Leaves are placed under the fillet in a baking dish. 

Baked Haddock 
Oven:  350°F     Time:  20-22 Minutes

Ingredients:

PAM
1 lb. fillet of Haddock - can be fresh or defrosted
1 teaspoon Olive Oil for sauteing & baking
2 Bay Leaves
 Paprika
Thyme

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Spray with PAM.
3. Place Bay Leaves on foil.
4. Rinse fillet in cold running water.
5. Place fillet on Bay Leaves in baking pan.
6. Drizzle Olive Oil on fillet.
7. Sprinkle small amount of Paprika on fish.
8. Then, repeat with a small amount of Thyme.
9. Bake for 20- 22 Minutes.  (It will be done when fish flakes easily with a fork.)

**Small amount = 2 shakes of the Paprika or of the Thyme.

We enjoy Baked Haddock with a microwaved "baked" potato and a salad.  This is an easy and a very tasty dinner!  Great for this time of year!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Grilling the Haddock

Yes, our outdoor thermometer did read 68°F and the sun shined brightly today!  WooHoo!  Our outdoor grill did its thing with my hubby's guidance and Grilled Haddock tasted so good tonight!  In the spring this particular dinner is always anticipated.  Our local grocery store, Big Y, has a good fish department stocking the fresh "wild caught" Haddock.  We are very fortunate here in Western MA, because fresh fish is available to us. Today was meatless Thursday!

Grilled Haddock is easy to prep.  I have posted about this fave dinner before - the first time in July of 2008.  My family has always enjoyed eating many types of seafood and we all like the flavor of each variety.  I do not serve sauces over servings of fish, because they are not necessary.  Quite often they are loaded with calories.  We save the extra calories for dessert!  :)         

*A grilling basket or container (sprayed with PAM) is needed, because the fish can break apart while grilling. :) The steps are easy and quick.

Tonight the 1 lb. of Haddock contained 2 Fillets.  

A Ziploc Freezer bag of Butternut Squash was located in our freezer then heated in the microwave. Corn was served along with the squash, so there was much color in our tasty meal. :)

Do you grill fish?

We enjoyed!
Yummy!

 

A Tasty Tradition Includes Grilled Haddock!

Sometimes, we repeat past actions and with their repetitions traditions begin! Spending a few days at Cape Cod here in MA definitely falls into that category. Relaxing and enjoying Nauset Beach in Orleans is an all time summer family favorite. Just before starting the journey back home, enjoying a Clam Roll on the Wellfleet Pier hits the spot.

After enjoying a relaxing vacation, I am always eager to get back to my kitchen. The second night that we are back home “Grilled Haddock” is our entrée. This has happened for quite a few years. Grilled Haddock is quick and easy to prepare and tastes delicious! Add a microwaved “baked potato” and a veggie or fruit salad and a nutritious dinner is ready quickly!

Grilled Haddock

1 lb. Haddock Fillet(s) serves 2.

1. Spray Grilling Basket/Container with PAM.
2. On a large dish pour about 2 TBS. Olive Oil.
3. Sprinkle a little Paprika and Thyme on top.
4. After rinsing Haddock Fillet(s) in running cold water, place on the Olive Oil/Paprika/Thyme.
5. Turn the fish over to coat the other side.
6. Place fish in Grilling Basket/Container on heated Grill.
7. Grill 5 – 7 Minutes on each side, until fish flakes easily with fork. Grilling Time depends on size/thickness of fillet.

A Grilling Basket/Container is definitely needed, because the Haddock Fillet(s) can break apart while grilling. The amount of needed grilling time depends on the size of the piece(s) of the haddock and the grill.

Seafood tastes great!
Enjoy!
Yummy!
