  2. Meanwhile, combine oregano, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl; set aside. Place panko in shallow dish. Pat haddock dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on 1 side of each fillet. Press mayonnaise-coated sides of fillets into panko.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place fillets panko side down in skillet and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Flip fillets and cook until fish registers 140 degrees, about 2 minutes. Serve with broccoli, vinaigrette, and lemon wedges.

Why This Recipe Works

Mayonnaise adheres the bread crumbs to the haddock without a messy breading process.

Before You Begin

The vinaigrette will separate after 5 to 10 minutes; rewhisk before serving. If you can’t find haddock, you can use cod here.

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until browned and tender, 14 to 16 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine oregano, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl; set aside. Place panko in shallow dish. Pat haddock dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on 1 side of each fillet. Press mayonnaise-coated sides of fillets into panko.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place fillets panko side down in skillet and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Flip fillets and cook until fish registers 140 degrees, about 2 minutes. Serve with broccoli, vinaigrette, and lemon wedges.
