Grilled Haddock Recipe

By: Andrea Alden

One evening the husband and I were driving through a shopping center, and we saw that there was a Nando's going in. He waxed poetic about their rice and how amazing it was. I knew that I needed to find a way to make it for him. If you're not familiar, Piri-Piri is the name of the game with Nando's dishes. So I set about gathering the spices that would bring that kind of flavor. That is how the recipe for Grilled Haddock With Spicy Rice was born. This turned out a little warmer than I had intended, but the scent was just amazing. A huge plate of veggie-laden rice, topped with a perfectly grilled haddock fillet that is smothered in garlic, butter, and more Piri-Piri spice. The husband and I were in flavor heaven. Try this and you will be too.

2 tsp.

Grilled Fish

4

haddock fillets

2 tbsp.

butter, melted

1 clove

garlic, grated

1 tsp.

Piri-Piri spice

 

Spicy Rice

1 cup

uncooked rice

3 tbsp.

butter

2 tsp.

Piri-Piri spice

2 cups

chicken stock

1 tbsp.

butter

1 tsp.

Piri-Piri spice

1/2

red pepper, chopped

1/2

green pepper , chopped

1/2

onion, chopped

1 clove

garlic, grated

Method
  1. In an airtight container, combine all of the seasonings to make the Piri-Piri spice. Shake well to combine.
  2. Oil your grids well with a high heat oil, like coconut or canola. Preheat your grill to 500°F.
  3. Melt the 2 tbsp. butter for the grilled fish, add the garlic and Piri-Piri spice and let that steep while you prep the rest of the meal.
  4. Over the side burner, melt 1 tbsp. butter, with the Piri-Piri spice and stirfry the peppers and onion over medium heat until slightly softened. Set aside. In the now empty frying pan, melt 3 tbsp. butter and Piri-Piri spice. Allow the butter to melt, then toast the rice in the butter and spice until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  5. Slowly add chicken stock to the rice mixture, stirring it in until it is gone each time. Do this until the rice is cooked to your preference. Add the peppers and onions back to the pan and keep warm.
  6. Remember the butter you melted in step 3? Brush your fish fillets with a healthy heaping helping of it, on both sides. Grill the haddock over direct heat, brushing with the butter mixture generously. It takes about 2 minutes per side, or until the fish is flakey and opaque.
  7. Serve the fish over the rice, or beside, just enjoy hot.

The husband was thrilled when we sat down to eat our Grilled Haddock With Spicy Rice. It was an aromatic experience and I will be happily making Haddock again. What is your favorite way to prepare Haddock on the grill? Leave a comment and tell us.
