I love seafood but have to admit that I eat far too little of it.  It’s one of the things I love to order in restaurants because it seems we just don’t make it often enough at the house.  It’s simple and delicious recipes such as this one that cause me to ask myself just one question:  Why?

Baked haddock fillets with an Asian twist

This baked haddock fillets are bathed in a fresh ginger, soy sauce, lemon, and chopped fresh parsey. This makes for a beautiful and healthy haddock recipe.

I suppose I’m fortunate in the sense that I grew up eating fish.  Summers were spent at our family camp in the beautiful foothills of New York State’s Adirondack mountains where most days found me fishing in the Independence River, whose fresh waters swooshing over the vast bed of rocks helped all of us fall asleep each night.    It was there that I learned to love the taste of fish and I’m proud to say a good share of the trout, bass, sunfish and bullhead fried up by my mom was caught on one of my hooks.

Over the the years and by contemplating countless restaurant menus, my palate’s taste for seafood has expanded.  Shrimp, scallops, mahi-mahi, sea bass, crab legs and of course lobster – I love it all.  Let’s not forget salmon, perch (very prominent here in Wisconsin), walleye, and this recipe’s feature:  Haddock.

Healthy Haddock Recipe

It’s lean, it’s mild, and it’s versatile. It can be be deep friend, fried in beer batter, broiled, or as in this recipe baked.   The fresh ginger in this marinade along with soy sauce, lemon and chopped parsley give a solid flavor to this otherwise light-tasting fish.

Scott, who is only half “sold” on eating fish of any kind wolfed down this healthy haddock recipe.   We paired these baked haddock fillets with some oven roasted Brussels sprouts and baby red potatoes and once again I found myself asking, “Why?”  Why don’t I make seafood more often?   Give this one a try and if you or someone in your family isn’t big on seafood, this recipe just might turn their beat around.   -Dan
