Many breaded recipes contain hidden ingredients that are not healthy and loaded with harmful saturated fats. This crusted haddock contains both hemp and almonds, which are excellent sources of protein and healthy beneficial fats. Be sure to choose wild fish to ensure the best quality and avoid pollutants.
