Baked Haddock

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried whole thyme
• 1 (1-pound) haddock fillet, divided into 4 equal portions
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• Paprika
• Fresh parsley sprigs
• Lemon wedges

Preparation

1. Combine milk and salt in a small shallow bowl; stir until salt dissolves. Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, and thyme in a small mixing bowl, stirring until well blended. Dip fish in milk mixture, and dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
2. Place fish in a buttered 8-inch square baking pan. Pour butter evenly over each portion, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer fish to a warm serving platter, and garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
