    Hello, to Simple Haddock Quesadillas!

    My friend, fish 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
    • Egg - to make a simple egg wash
    • Gluten-free bread crumbs
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Olive oil
    • Tortillas - 8 inch size, corn (or other gluten-free option)
    • Red or yellow peppers
    • Cheddar cheese
    • Green onion
    • Salt and pepper

    And for toppings, you gotta have the avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, fresh salsa and sour cream😋

    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 gluten-free bread crumbs
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Olive oil

    Filling

    • 8 Corn or other gluten-free tortillas 8 inch
    • 1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
    • 1 Medium yellow pepper cut into thin strips
    • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
    • 1 Avocado smashed
    • 3 green onions chopped
    • ½ 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 tablespoon 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 tablespoon 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.

    • Spread layer of fish, shredded cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and peppers on one-half of the tortilla.

    • 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.

    Notes

    Storage and Freezing:
    Once cooked, these fish quesadillas will be good for 2 days in the fridge. Wrap them up or put into air-tight containers.
    To re-heat, pop into the microwave for about 30 seconds on high or until heated through.
    Freezing:
    Only freeze the quesadilla is you used fresh fish. If you used frozen fish to make it, it's not recommended to freeze it after cooking.
    To freeze, cool down a cooked quesadilla. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in fridge overnight and then follow re-heating instructions as above.
