Baked Haddock

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program.

Time: 30 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients
· about 1 LB haddock fillets
· Spice blend made with a dash or 2 of each: garlic salt, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika 
· A few dashes of lemon Juice
· 1 cup bread crumbs (panko or regular)
· 2-3 tablespoons butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 

Rinse and pat dry fish fillets and dredge in spice mix on both sides. Lay fish in a baking dish. 

Pour a few dashes of lemon juice on the haddock and sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the whole tray of fish. Cut butter into small chunks and lay on top of the fish trying to keep them evenly spread. 

Place in oven for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness. The fish is done when it is opaque and falls apart easily with a fork. Do not overcook!

Whole Baked Rock Cod

This recipe is from Elise Smith as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 45 min
Serves: 6

Ingredients
· 1 whole rock cod, gutted (about 2 lbs)
· 2 tablespoons frying oil

Seasoning A:
· ¾ teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon rice wine
· 2 teaspoon sesame oil
· 1 tablespoon frying oil
· 1 ¾ teaspoon five-spice powder

Shredded Ingredients:
· 3 pieces of bacon
· 1 leek
· 4 slices ginger
· A few pinches or coriander

Seasoning B:
· ¼ cup chicken stock
· 1 ½ tablespoon rice wine
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· ¼ cup light soy sauce
· 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
· 2 tablespoons frying oil

Directions
Cut the fish in half lengthwise, cutting right up through the head but do not sever along the top of the back so the fish can be pressed out flat in one piece. Remove the gills. Rinse fish well.

Rub the fish all over with seasoning A and let sit 5 or 10 minutes. 

Heat a baking pan in the oven at 425 degrees F for a few minutes, remove baking pan and add frying oil. Carefully spread the fish skin upwards on the pan and arrange the shredded ingredients on top. Pour Seasoning B ingredients over fish. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes - baste the fish a few times while it cooks.

We enjoyed this main course with roasted potatoes and cherry tomatoes, sautéed green beans, a massaged kale salad and Spanish rice.

Bay Scallop and Flounder Dumpling Soup

BAY SCALLOP & FLOUNDER DUMPLING SOUP 🥟

This recipe is from Aliya Zarei as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Amabassador Program

Yields 30-34 dumplings
Time: 2hrs

DUMPLINGS
Dumpling wrapper
150gm bay scallops
1pc of flounder fillet
1 stalk of scallions
4pcs of dried shiitake (soaked in hot water)
Few pcs of bamboo shoots
1tbs low sodium soy sauce
1tbs rice wine/dry sherry or 1/4ts chicken bouillon powder
1tsp sesame oil
1tbs corn starch
1ts grated ginger
Salt & white pepper

BROTH (bring everything to boil and let all the flavors infuse, scoop all herbs out before serving)
1L chicken stock (I used homemade, but store bought is fine too)
1tbs light soy sauce
3 thin slices of ginger
3 stalks of scallions
Salt to taste
Chopped scallions for serving

Others (optional): veggie of choice, noodles, crispy garlic, pickled radish, chili crisp

Dumpling methods:
- mix soy sauce, rice wine, grated ginger, sesame oil and corn starch
- chop or grind other ingredients and pour them into sauce mix. Cover and let sit in the fridge for 1 hour
- lay out dumpling wrapper on damp paper or kitchen towel
- place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper
- dip your fingers into a bowl of water, rub outer edges
- fold into half and press the edges to seal in the filling, and then create a few pleats along the sealed edges
- in a pot, bring water to a boil and carefully place dumplings into boiling water. Let cook for a few minutes until cooked through and slightly translucent (Boil or steam dumplings, noodles and veggies in a separate pot, not in the broth)
- add cooked dumplings into a hot bowl of broth with noodles, veggie and scallions

Tips: having dumpling wrapper on damp surface prevents it from drying. It’s much easier to make dumplings with wet fingers.
