Hohenwestedt's Heavenly Haddock: Pan-fried Haddock With Lemon And Capers

Ingredients

  • 4 haddock fillets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the haddock fillets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the haddock fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and add the capers. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Return the haddock fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Serve the pan-fried haddock with lemon and capers immediately, accompanied by your choice of side dishes.
