Pan-Seared Haddock with Red Pepper Caper Relish
The haddock serves as a vessel for a skillet caper relish that comes together in about 10 minutes and adds so much flavor to the plate. This relish would go well on cod, tilapia or any white fish.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a medium skillet, add 2 tablespoons avocado oil over medium heat. Add diced shallot and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add in minced garlic and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 2
Reduce heat to low and add in capers, along with zest of 1 lemon and juice of half a lemon. Reserve other lemon half for serving. Stir until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes, until peppers are cooked through but not soggy.
- Step 3
Stir in fresh parsley and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat until ready to serve.
- Step 4
In a large skillet, heat other 2 tablespoons avocado oil over high heat. While oil is heating, use a paper towel to dry haddock filets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Step 5
Once oil is heated, add haddock, skin side down, and cook for 4 minutes. Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the filets and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 6
Plate filets, skin side down, and top with a few tablespoons of Red Pepper Caper Relish. Serve with vegetables of your choice and a wedge or slices of reserved lemon half.
