Baked haddock is a delicate seafood dish featuring fresh haddock fillets seasoned with lemon, garlic, herbs, and black pepper. The fish is gently baked until tender and flaky, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. The butter adds richness, while the lemon provides a bright, citrusy note. This simple yet flavorful preparation highlights the delicate texture of the haddock.
For baked haddock, a delicate white fish, pair with a crisp white wine like Chardonnay or a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir. The buttery texture and mild flavor of the fish complement the citrus and apple notes in Chardonnay, while its medium body matches the fish's weight. Alternatively, Pinot Noir's red fruit and earthy notes enhance the dish's herb and garlic flavors without overpowering the fish.
