Orange Ginger Haddock

I am not a fish fan by any means. It is such a struggle for me. I used to eat canned tuna or salmon if it was smothered in mayo and had onion, pickles....the works. My husband loves fish and I tried some orange roughy with him and wasn't able to eat it without gagging, even though it looked so good. My husband said it was great but it was way to fishy for me.

I decided to try fish again but I made Haddock instead. I knew it was supposed to be much milder in fish flavor and I thought I just might be able to handle it with the right spices. I chose to grill it and set out to find what kind of spices I might use. I saw several that used the typical lemon juice, garlic, basil etc. But I also saw one that used lemon zest and orange zest. I would have never thought of the orange zest. I decided to use some orange peel powder instead that I just bought along with ginger, garlic, onion, parsley and olive oil. It turned out to be a great combination. This was the best piece of fish I ever had and I will definitely do it again.

Orange Ginger Haddock

Two, 1/2 lb to 3/4 lb Haddock fillets
1 medium onion, chopped
Olive Oil
Orange Peel Powder ( I buy mine at Mountain Rose Herbs)
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Ginger
Parsley
Sea Salt
Foil to cook the fish in on the grill

First take to large sheets of foil and oil them with olive oil. Rub the haddock fillets with olive oil to coat. Place the fillets on the foil and sprinkle generously with the orange peel powder, garlic, onion, ginger, parsley, and sea salt. Top each fillet with the chopped onion, wrap tightly and place on a heated grill for 6-9 mins until fish is done. It should flake easily.

Serves 2-4

This truly was a delicious piece of fish. I could hardly believe I was really enjoying it. My husband loved it too and said I could make him a pile for his birthday. LOL
