Haddock Topped with Sun-dried Tomato Paste and Goat's Cheese recipe

Jump to recipe

Crunchy haddock fillets that take just 5 minutes to assemble. Make this to add some protein to carby dinners.

Sometimes I look at my plate and think: “There’s very little protein here”. Usually I’m looking at risotto, pasta and, of course, pizza (not all at once).

This is a quick side I’ve been serving with carb-heavy meals to give them more balance. The prep takes 5 minutes (truly) and the haddock cooks from frozen in about 20 minutes.

If goat’s cheese doesn’t work with the rest of the meal I use sliced olives. Or nothing at all. Sun-dried tomato paste and panko breadcrumbs are more than enough to improve a plain fillet of haddock.

Notes

Belazu’s balsamic sun-dried tomato paste is still my favourite but any sun-dried tomato paste will do.

I buy M&S frozen haddock fillets from Ocado.

Recipe

Haddock Topped with Sun-dried Tomato Paste and Goat's Cheese

  • Prep5m
  • Cook20m
  • Total25m
Serves: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive or vegetable oil (plus more to drizzle)
  • 1 haddock fillet (I use frozen, roughly 100g)
  • 1½ tbsp sun-dried tomato paste (or more depending on the fillet size)
  • 3 slices of goat's cheese (I use the kind with a rind)
  • 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a small roasting tray with foil and drizzle over 1 teaspoon of olive or vegetable oil.
  2. Place a haddock fillet (roughly 100g) onto the tray. Spread 1½ tablespoons of sun-dried tomato paste over the fillet. Lay 3 slices of goat’s cheese rounds on top then scatter 1 tablespoon of panko breadcrumbs over the cheese. Drizzle with a little more oil.
  3. Place the fish into the oven and set a timer for 18 minutes. Once it sounds, check that the middle of the fish is piping hot. It may need up to another 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  4. When ready, remove from the oven and leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.
