A delightful and easy-to-make haddock recipe with a crispy Parmesan topping.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the light mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, grated Parmesan cheese, and smoked paprika.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the butter in a shallow baking dish and place it in the oven until melted.
Keep an eye on the butter to prevent it from browning.
Arrange the haddock fillets in the baking dish, fleshier side up, and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top.
Ensure the fillets are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Check the fish for doneness by gently flaking it with a fork.
Serve the baked haddock immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with a side of lemon wedges for added freshness.
