Pan-fried Haddock
This is a fantastic meal for weekends with drop-in guests—especially if they bring fresh fish. With a dollop of homemade tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon, it’s as tasty and fast as a meal can be. This recipe works with any freshwater whitefish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless haddock fillets (or other whitefish)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- pinch cayenne
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 lemons cut into wedges
Instructions
- Pat fillets dry. On a plate, season flour with salt, pepper, and cayenne. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with water.
- Dip fillets in flour mixture, then in beaten egg. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt and foam. Add fillets and pan-fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through (the fish will flake).
- Serve with a side of tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
