Directions
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 200°C / 400°F). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- Prepare the fillets: Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
- Season the fish: Mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Grill the haddock: Place the fillets skin-side down (if skin is on) on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Check doneness: The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F). Avoid overcooking to keep the fish moist and tender.
- Serve: Transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped herbs.
