Even on cool slightly rainy nights the grill calls to me. It means less clean up and usually faster cooking. Seafood is great to cook on the grill, especially because then the house does not smell like fish! We are very lucky that we have a friend who loves to fish but doesn’t like seafood, so we get pounds of his fresh catch to freeze and pull out when we need it.
Grilled Haddock
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 basil leaves torn
- 3 pounds Haddock fillets or other firm white fish, like cod
- 1/2 pound Campari tomatoes diced
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese optional
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill. Take 2 large pieces of foil and cross them. Drizzle olive oil, salt and half of the basil leaves on the foil. Place haddock fillets on top.
-
Add tomatoes, remaining olive oil, salt and basil leaves, then squeeze the lemon juice over the fish.
-
Close up the foil and fold into a packet. Add another piece of foil if needed to make sure the fish is completely enclosed.
-
Place on direct heat on the grill and close grill. After 10 minutes, move to indirect heat. Close grill and continue to cook for another 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Take off the grill and serve! Sprinkle fish with feta if you like.
I have about 8 pounds of haddock left, so I’m sure there will be more recipes in the future! Any good ideas? What is your favorite way to cook haddock?
Here are some of my other seafood ideas and recipes:
Mmm this sounds good! I don’t think I’ve ever had haddock. My family usually goes for salmon, tuna, or cod. We love seafood, so I’ll have to let them know it’s time to try a different fish 🙂
I love haddock. It is similar to cod, so you could use this recipe for cod as well. But definitely try haddock if you can find it! I’ve made this with flounder too.
Hubby would love this and I could actually deal with fish smell outside! Im totally saving this. Can you buy haddock at the store?
I know you can find it in MA in the grocery stores at the fish counter. You could make this with cod too, any firm white fish.
I have never tried this kind of fish yet, but definitely giving this a try. We always grilled salmon or tuna. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Haddock is delicious. You could use any white fish for this recipe though!
I love haddock…well, truth be told, I love seafood! Being from the south, I like it fried with a good gluten free fry coating. But my absolute favorite way of preparing it is to grill! If you are cooking fish in the house, try putting a small bowl of white vinegar near the stove and maybe a couple in the rooms nearest the kitchen. I don’t know why or how, but it cuts down on the fishy smell.
Thanks for the tip!
Yum! Never thought to add feta – I bet its a nice salty touch 😉
