Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider using a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. You can also substitute cod or sole for the haddock if needed. Fresh herbs can enhance the flavor; try adding dill or thyme alongside parsley. Ensure the fish is fresh and properly thawed if frozen for the best results.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the haddock fillets with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a refreshing complement. This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of the same dry white wine used in cooking. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside a grain like quinoa or rice. For more seafood inspiration, browse Mediterranean recipes.
