Baked Haddock with Berry Grapefruit Crumble

My first time cooking haddock! My buddy doesn't care for fish so once-in-a-while I will try making it a certain way hoping he likes it. Well, all my Salmon recipes (some of which I love) didn't work for him, Sword fish...a little, then finally hit the jackpot with this haddock recipe. I took a standard recipe from online with bread crumbs and got crafty with Grapefruit and some berry touches for that sweet and sour combo. I got a surprise visit from my mom and got two thumbs up from her :) Forgot to take a picture, dang!

"Baked Haddock with Berry Grapefruit Crumble"

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. Haddock
3 tbs. Butter (melted)
3/4 c. Bread Crumbs
1/2 Grapefruit (cut and pealed into 4 slices)
1 tbs. Rasberry/Strawberry Jam
handful Cranberries (chopped) * I buy them dried
1 t. Salt
1/4 t. Pepper
1/4 t. Thyme

Topping:

1 tb. Grapefruit Zest
2 tb. Pecorino Romano Cheese (grated)

Directions:

1. Mix all the top ingredients (except the fish and Grapefruit) together in a bowl).
2. Zest the Grapefruit than slice it.
3. Place fish in a greased casserole dish and place Grapefruit slices in between or on the sides of the fish.
4. Spead the Crumb mixture on top of the fish and place uncovered in a pre-heated 400* oven for 25 min.
5. Mix Zest with the Cheese for your topping.
6. When fish is done, sprinkle the Grapefruit/Cheese mixture on top and cook for a few minutes longer.
Remove and enjoy!
