Michel Roux Jr’s Norwegian Haddock Baked with Ginger and Coriander

My quick and easy fish recipe is steamed fish, Cantonese style as it takes less than 10 minutes and delicious. It is a family favourite.

This recipe of baked Norwegian Haddock could possibly be my new favourite. It takes just 8 minutes to bake. It is very healthy as it uses hardly any oil. The Asian flavours add a zingy finish to the dish. Served with a steamed basmati rice, this is a great mid week supper dish.

Michel Roux Jr is a very fit man who runs marathons. This dish is one that he designed for his marathon training diet.

You can subsitute any white fish into this recipe. If you don’t like Basmati rice, you can use Jasmine rice, brown rice or millet instead.

Norwegian haddock is a product of Norwegian Seafood which either wild caught or sustainably farmed in the cold waters around Norway. Look for the “Seafood from Norway” mark to ensure that you are buying that meets the quality guidelines of the Norwegian Seafood Council.
