Haddock with Bay Leaves

I get a knock on my door the other day. My landlord is standing there with branches of bay leaves: “I thought you would enjoy these! I’ve been pruning the tree” he said. What a kind and thoughtful guy!

One thing I love about summer cooking is knocking up perfectly simple and quick dishes like this one and the abundance of chilled Sauvignon Blanc, of course!

I had some haddock that Chris picked up earlier that morning and thought I’d pair the two.

Here it is:

I threw in some whole garlic, skins on.

Drizzle the pan with some olive oil.

Drizzle the fillets with some more olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, layer with bay leaves, and baked.

Cook fish about 7 minutes per inch, measuring at the thickest point. Bake at 350F/180C/4G.
