Notes
Notes:
Look for thick haddock fillets about 2" thick. If your fillets are thinner cut the surface area and reduce cook time to about 1 minute per side.
The 'very well milled hard breading' is Nova Scotia-speak for high protein bread flour but you can substitute all purpose.
Be sure to tast your Lemon Pepper seasoning mix. If it contains salt already then omit the salt called for in the recipe.
