Ingredients
  

4 haddock fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

    Prepare Haddock: Rinse the haddock fillets under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and the smoked paprika.

      Make Garlic Crumbs: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, lemon zest, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

        Assemble in Baking Dish: Place the seasoned haddock fillets in the prepared baking dish. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the fillets, then evenly distribute the garlic crumb mixture over the top of each fillet.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining parsley over the top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
