How to Cook Haddock in a Frying Pan

Keyword: frying pan, haddock

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of haddock filets
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • ½ tsp of pepper
  • 2 tbsp of butter
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 tsp of garlic powder
  • 2 tsp of onion powder

Instructions

  • Mix together the flour and spices in a large bowl.
  • Place the haddock filets in the bowl and cover with flour using your hands. Make sure the entire fish is well covered with the flour mixture.
  • Add your butter to the frying pan and heat on a medium heat.
  • Shake off extra flour from the fish so it is not losing flour as you transfer it to the hot oil. Once the oil is hot, add your fish to the frying pan. If the oil is hot enough, the fish will make a sizzling noise as soon as it comes in contact with the oil. Let the fish rest in the pan once it is there. Don’t try to adjust it.
  • Wait to flip the fish over to the other side to cook until you see the fish start to brown on the bottom side. The edges may lift up on either end, making it easy to flip the fish over. When you see the edges browning, flip over the fish and let it cook until it has become brown on both sides. If you are having trouble getting the fish loose from the pan, it is not ready to flip yet or you didn’t put down enough butter in the pan.
  • Once the fish is cooked on both sides, you can take it out of the pan and serve right away.
