Keto grilled haddock sounds like a delicious and light meal that’s super easy to prepare! Haddock is a mild, flaky white fish that grills beautifully. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Keto Grilled Haddock
Ingredients:
- 4 haddock fillets (about 4-6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter for extra richness)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or fresh, chopped)
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional for a bit of smokiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil (or melted butter), lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the haddock:
- Place the haddock fillets in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is coated well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in. Don’t marinate for too long, as the acidity from the lemon can “cook” the fish.
3. Preheat the grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-375°F or 175-190°C). If you’re using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat on the stove.
4. Grill the haddock:
- Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
- Place the haddock fillets on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as haddock is a delicate fish.
5. Serve:
- Remove the haddock from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of extra lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
- Serve with your favorite keto side dishes like roasted vegetables, a salad, or sautéed spinach.
