1
Prepare the Haddock
Rinse the haddock fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture.
2
Season the Fillets
Brush the haddock fillets with olive oil on both sides. Generously sprinkle blackening seasoning over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

3
Heat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot. You can test this by splashing a few drops of water in the pan; they should sizzle.
4
Cook the Haddock
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the seasoned haddock fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Remove from Heat
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

6
Cook the Baby Potatoes
In a pot, place the baby potatoes and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes.
7
Sauté Asparagus
In the same skillet used for the fish, add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and bright green. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

8
Plate the Dish
Serve each blackened haddock fillet with a portion of sautéed asparagus and a side of baby potatoes. Enjoy your smoky and slightly spicy blackened haddock dinner!
