Enter these Simple Haddock Quesadillas🐠
Your next favourite weeknight meal.
My friend, quesadillas are a great option when you need a healthy meal quickly, plus you’ve got the customizable factor in your favour.
You can pack these babies with whatever your heart desires❣️
And then when it’s all done, with the cheese melted and the goodness of the flavours all melding together? mmmmmm
It’s like biting into a present. A delicious, healthy present😋
Plus, these fish quesadillas are great for a weeknight meal when you don’t have a lot of time to make supper.
Not that I can think of a weeknight when I had a LOT of time to make supper…buuut you get my point: it’s a pretty quick recipe😉
Here’s what you’ll need to make these simple haddock quesadillas:
- The fish – I like haddock and you could also use cod
- Tortillas – 8 inch size, corn (gluten-free) or you can use wheat
- Red or yellow peppers
- Cheddar cheese
- Green onion
And for toppings, you gotta have the avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, fresh salsa and sour cream👌
As I still try and figure out our whole, new world these days (that continues to change by the minute), let’s keep mealtimes as simple as possible.
And do what we can🙋♀️
One thing’s for sure: you can keep it up with gluten-free and carb-friendly recipes so that you can feel your very best.
I hope you make these Simple Haddock Quesadillas and decide to add them to your weeknight rotation.

Simple Haddock Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 4 Haddock fish fillets Cod works too. When using frozen fillets, thaw and pat them down with paper towel to remove excess water
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ cup Bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Filling
- 8 Corn or whole wheat tortillas 8 inch
- 1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
- 1 Medium yellow pepper chopped in thin strips
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 Avocado smashed
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1/2 cup Cilantro roughly chopped
- Salsa and/or sour cream for serving
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. In a shallow Tupperware container or large plate, combine the beaten egg with ~2 Tbsp of water to make a simple egg wash.
- On another large plate, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.
- One filet at a time, dip fish fillets in egg wash and then in bread crumb mixture to coat all over.
- Heat 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil in a non stick pan on medium heat.
- Add fish to hot pan and let brown on each side (about 6-8 minutes each side). Fish should be opaque white in the centre. If using thicker pieces of fish, cover pan with a lid and let cook longer to cook through. Remove fish from pan.
- Place one tortilla in the heated non-stick pan and turn down heat a bit to low-medium.
- Spread layer of fish, shredded cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and peppers on one-half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla over and cook for a few minutes on low-medium heat.
- Heat for a few more minutes. Check if cheese has melted by carefully lifting one side of the tortilla. Once cheese is melted and tortillas are toasted, slide onto a platter and cut into triangles.
- Serve with lime wedges, smashed avocado, cilantro and salsa or chipotle sauce.
