Today, we explore a delicious seafood dish that combines the bright flavors of lemon and dill with the richness of hollandaise sauce. Baked haddock paired with lemon-dill hollandaise is a perfect choice for a light yet flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 4 haddock fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the lemon-dill hollandaise:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt to taste
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the haddock fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the hollandaise sauce. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks with lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens.
Slowly pour in the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat, then stir in chopped dill and season with a pinch of salt.
Serving Suggestions
Place the baked haddock on plates and generously spoon the lemon-dill hollandaise over the top. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
