Stuffing is not just for turkey (though it’s understandable if you find yourself thinking so, especially this Thanksgiving week). This recipe uses winter vegetables and shellfish to make a flavorful stuffing for baked haddock. There’s no need to deal with a whole fish — just spoon the stuffing on top of filets, top with a creamy homemade dill dressing (recipe included) and cracker crumbs, and bake. The stuffing and dressing could be made in advance for a quick weeknight dinner. From the York Harbor Inn in York Harbor, Maine, just steps from the beach, with rooms “to fit any budget”.
Another haddock recipe that shows this fish’s versatility is Parmesan Haddock, because parmesan isn’t just for veal and chicken.
