Ingredients

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
widely available, so check for them in the local market.
1large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and 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.

Great fish recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Like alot of others, I reduced the amount of breadcrumbs & used only 4 slices of bacon. I made this super simple dish for... my husband, daughter & her fiancee & we all really enjoyed it. The leftovers were just as tasty. Definitely will make this again. Read more

We loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The five of us - me, my husband and three children (ages 1-7) really enjoyed this immensely. It was very easy to make and... the bacon added a ton flavor. Although my kids eat fish often, this is a great recipe to get non-fish-eating children to enjoy fish!Read more

Quick and Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We are lucky to live near the East Coast so we have access to fresh fish all summer long. The problem is there aren't a lot... of new ways to prepare a basic white fish like haddock or cod. My husband and 5 year old loved this recipe.Read more

A little Tweaking, but good!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I am no expert at cooking, but I should have read the reviews first. I agree with using less bread crumbs. 1 cup was... overwhelming and not enjoyable. Next time I will go with 1/3 cup bread crumbs. Also instead of 2 bunches of parsley, I would go with one. I also used only three pieces of bacon, as I am single and do not want clogged arteries. I did chop the bacon up into small bits and did not integrate with the bread crumbs but added it to the top of the haddock. Other than that, besides the excess bread crumbs, it was good and would do it again!Read more

Delicious and fast!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

What a terrific, easy, fast recipe. ADJUSTMENTS: I used less breadcrumbs as advised by other reviewers - I used 2/3 C. I... added the garlic about 1 minute before the bacon and onions were done sauteeing because it burns so quickly. I removed the bacon/onion mixture from the pan first and then added breadcrumbs, parsley and capers to the drippings. Baked as directed for 15 minutes in a glass pyrex baking dish and the haddock was perfectly done, nice 'n moist. I gave it another squirt of lemon juice over the top after I took it out of the oven. Next time I make this I'll try crushed buttered crackers instead of Italian breadcrumbs. It's essential to have nice ripe tomatoes for the top. This is a keeper.Read more

fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy and delicious. The flavors compimented the haddock,and did not overpower. To "lighten" it just a bit I... did not add evoo to the bacon, and did not have to use all the dripings to make the breadcrumbs moist. A nice change from the same ol' baked stuffed. The capers added a light salty flavor so don't omit them. The diced tomato and at the end made it fresh!Read more
