Zesty bread crumbs with parsley add a crisp crust to these soft and flaky haddock fillets. Serve with creamy cauliflower, and lemon-drizzled spring mix or quartered little gem lettuce.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parlsey

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, divided

  • 1/4 tsp hot red chili flakes, optional

  • 6 tbsp butter, melted, divided

  • 4 frozen, skinless haddock fillets, each 113 g, thawed

  • 1/2 tsp salt, divided

  • 1 500-g pkg frozen cauliflower florets

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 142-g pkg spring mix

Instructions

  • Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • Stir bread crumbs, parsley, zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, hot pepper flakes and 2 tbsp butter in a medium bowl.

  • Place haddock on prepared sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Season with pepper. Divide bread crumb mixture among fillets, pressing to stick. Roast until a paring knife inserted into thickest part of fillet comes out warm, 10 min.

  • Meanwhile, cover cauliflower with hot water in a large saucepan. Boil, then reduce heat to medium and gently boil until tender, 10 to 12 min. Drain, then transfer to a food processor. Whirl, while pouring remaining 4 tbsp butter through the spout, until mixture is smooth. Whirl in garlic, cheese and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Cover to keep warm.

  • Whisk oil with remaining 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice in a large bowl. Add spring mix and toss to coat. Divide fish, salad and cauliflower mash among plates. Sprinkle with more parsley, if desired.
