Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange haddock on foil in a greased baking pan.

- Spread the mixture over the haddock.
- Bake in a moderately hot oven at 425°F for about 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you want a bit more zest, add some minced garlic or fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the mixture. If you don’t have corn flake crumbs, crushed Ritz crackers can work as a substitute. Make sure the haddock is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this baked haddock alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with dishes like Coastal Casserole Delight or can be complemented with a side of rice or quinoa. A drizzle of lemon juice just before serving enhances the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the haddock in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the fish.
