Baked Boston Scrod or "Schrod"

In Boston, cod is often listed as "scrod" on local restaurant menus.  When it's spelled "schrod," it is usually as sign that you are eating haddock.

I have fond memories of Boston; all the history and fresh seafood.  But when my husband thinks of fish for dinner, he thinks of fish and chips and a not-so-healthy tartar sauce on the side.   

Haddock is a very economical fish.  This recipe packed with flavor.  You will save money and your family won’t miss the batter or the mayonnaise. 

Bonus:  It only takes 25 minutes, prep-to-table.
