- 2 pounds haddock filet, cut into 4 8-ounce portions
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice – about 1/4 lemon
- Salt
- EVOO – extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 6 slices smoky bacon, chopped
- 8 cippolini, small Italian flat-shaped sweet onion, peeled and thinly sliced--
- A medium yellow onion, quartered then thinly sliced may be substituted, but cippolini are

- 1large clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls, chopped

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse fish and pat dry. Sprinkle fish with lemon juice and salt. Coat an oven-safe handled large skillet with a drizzle of EVOO and a little softened butter. If your skillets all have rubber handles, coat handle twice with tin foil and it should be fine in the oven. Set
portioned fish into skillet.
Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the bacon. Render the fat in the bacon 3 minutes then add onions. Sweeten and soften onions and garlic 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add bread crumbs to the pan and turn them to coat them in drippings. Add parsley and capers combine. Top fish with coating of onions, bacon and bread crumbs. Bake 15 minutes.

This was wonderful! I used pancetta which gave it a wonderful flavor. I also used 3/4 cup panko and 1/4 Italian bread crumbs. Will make this MANY times more!

Made this for dinner tonight using some of the previous suggestions. I used 2/3 cup plain Panko bread crumbs and added a little oregano and Italian seasoning. I also substituted green olives for the capers. I found that you could use them as a good substitute, just use 1/2 of what the recipe calls for in capers. I did make one oops but it actually worked out really well--I accidentally mixed the diced tomatoes into the bread crumb mixture. Baked it in my cast iron skillet for 15 minutes--it was perfect. It is definitely a keeper and it looked real nice with the tomato mixed in.

Needed to get out of our rut with fish and this was a winner. We used Alaskan Pollack, thats what we had, and omitted the capers. Other than that we followed the rest of the recipe. It was wonderful, and tasty. A nice crunch on the fish with the bacon and the lovely onions. We were going to skip the tomato on top when serving and am glad we didn't. That was a wonderful added flavor. Am going to do this again, since we make fish 3-4 times a month.
