A Healthier Fried Haddock Option

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

Many years ago, in an attempt to eat healthier, my mother created a recipe to replace her favorite fried haddock. 

Her delicious haddock recipe was passed on to me and then to my daughters.

It is one of our family favorites, very easy to make, and much healthier for those looking to cut fried foods from their diet.

 

HADDOCK A LA RICE KRISPIES

1 lb Fresh Haddock

1 C Rice Krispies

1 egg white

3 Tbsp Butter (melted) or Olive Oil

 

rice cereal

 

I use organic crispy rice cereal

made by Erewhon.

It is available at health food stores and many

of the chain grocery stores also have it.

Any rice crispy cereal will work.

 

 


cereal in bag Start by placing rice cereal in a zip lock bag and crushing with rolling pin or meat tenderizer. 

You don't have to pulverize it, just break it up enough that some of the cereal is crushed and some is still whole.

 

Prepare broiler pan by covering with foil and spraying foil with non stick spray.

Preheat oven to 375.

Place egg white in bowl and beat together with 1 Tbsp. water.  Dip haddock in egg white and then place into bag of cereal.

 Think Shake 'N Bake.  Toss fish around in bag until coated. Place fish on pan.

 

fish

 

Pour remaining cereal on top of fish.

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Drizzle melted butter or olive oil over top. 

 

Bake at 375 degrees 10 - 12 minutes, until fish is white and flakey. 

 

A Simpler,  Much Faster Method

Place raw fish on a foil lined cookie sheet or broiler pan.

Pour some uncrushed Rice Krispies right from the box over the fish,  until the fish is completely covered.

Drizzle melted butter or olive oil over the cereal and bake.

Sharon,

How clever to use rice crisps for crumbs.  I use a gluten free cracker, and never thought of just egg whites. I have not seen haddock here, so I will use the Petrale Sole we love.  A

Hi Sharon- I've never tried the rice krispies but I do use panko crumbs mixed with bread crumbs and then bake it in the oven. Sounds good!!!

Hello Sharon - it is interesting to me to see Erewhon in your post even though it is mentioned as a cereal.  It is an organic grocery store in the Los Angeles area which has recently proposed a store to open in Pasadena.

That sounds delicious!  I don't think I will try making it myself but I would definitely enjoy eating it if someone else made it for me, haha.

Kathy Streib  Let me know if you try it and what you think. We love it.

Michael Jacobs  Interesting. I haven't actually bought the brand in awhile (I actually wrote this post a long time ago). I use whatever rice crispy cereal I can find, depending on the store. I do prefer organic when available.

Carol Williams  YES, baked is much better for you than fried. I hope you do try it and enjoy it.

Brian England  HaHa....oh come on...this couldn't be easier! It does taste better when cooked by someone else though, just like everything else.

Hi Sharon since I've never liked fried anything I'm totally up for this recipe!  I'll try it soon and see what Gary thinks of it.  He likes fish so I'm betting he'll love it.   Thanks!
