Haddock In Cream
Haddock In Cream is a delectable seafood dish that features tender haddock fillets smothered in a rich, creamy sauce infused with lemon and mustard. The dish is elevated by the sweetness of onions, making it a perfect choice for a comforting family dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix lemon juice, pepper, salt, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together.
- Combine the mixture with cream and pour it over the haddock fillets.
- Add the sliced onions on top and bake at 400° for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like dill or parsley in the cream mixture. If you don't have haddock, cod or tilapia can be great substitutes. For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream with Greek yogurt. Make sure to check the fish for doneness before serving; it should flake easily with a fork. This dish can also be served over rice or pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the haddock in cream with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Tuna-Ripe Olive Loaf for a complete seafood dinner. A light white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, complements the dish nicely. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an extra zing.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the haddock in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Avoid the microwave as it can make the fish rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen haddock for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen haddock! Just ensure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking. It’s important to pat the fillets dry to prevent excess moisture from diluting the cream sauce.
What can I use if I don't have Worcestershire sauce?
If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, a combination of soy sauce and a bit of vinegar can work as a substitute. Alternatively, a splash of balsamic vinegar can add a similar depth of flavor to the dish.
How do I know when the haddock is done cooking?
The haddock is done when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. It typically takes about 30 minutes at 400°F, but cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
