Note: This recipe appears in the New Legal Seafood Cookbook. The recipes in this cookbook look SO delicious I can't wait to try them all. If you don't have haddock, don't worry. You can use virtually any fish fillet in this recipe and  so I used cod.You can also change the herbs to vary the flavor. I had this reip the other night with roasted red peppers as a side and it was a nice dish. The red peppers also add color to yo plate. This is an easy fish dish to prepare if you or anyone else is learning to cook fish.
