Lemon Garlic Haddock with Tahini Drizzle
When you want a sophisticated seafood dinner without the stress of complex prep or long cook times.
After a long day, the last thing you want is a complicated multi-step recipe that leaves your kitchen a mess. This lemon garlic haddock is designed for those nights when you need something nourishing and flavorful with minimal effort. The flaky white fish absorbs the zest of the lemon and the punch of the garlic beautifully, while the creamy tahini drizzle adds a rich, nutty finish that makes it feel like a restaurant meal. It cooks in just minutes under the broiler or in a hot oven, meaning you can spend less time hovering over the stove and more time relaxing. The best part? You only need one pan to get everything done, making cleanup a breeze so you can get to your evening routine faster.
Ingredients
- 2 unit Haddock fillets
- 3 unit Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit Lemon
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 pinch Salt
Method
- 1 Preheat your oven or broiler to 425°F. Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- 2 In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice (about 1 tbsp), oregano, and a pinch of salt.
- 3 Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
- 4 Roast or broil the fish for 8-12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 5 While the fish cooks, whisk the tahini with a splash of warm water and a squeeze of lemon juice until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- 6 Remove from heat and drizzle the tahini sauce over the fish just before serving.
Variations
- Substitution — Swap haddock for cod or tilapia; they have similar texture and cook times.
- Vegetarian Twist — Replace the fish with thick slices of cauliflower roasted in the same lemon-garlic oil.
Notes
If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic oil mixture. Serve with some steamed green beans or quick couscous for a complete meal.
Equipment that helps
- Baking Sheet — Allows for easy cleanup and consistent cooking of the fillets.
