This grilled haddock with lemon cream sauce is a wonderfully light and tangy way to enjoy this fabulous sustainable cod relative! The haddock has slightly less dense meat than cod but also a note of sweetness that combines superbly with my easy lemon cream sauce for white fish! It's a simple and flavorful dinner that the whole family will love!

Instructions
To Make The Grilled Haddock
Rinse and pat your haddock dry using paper towels.
On a countertop lay out a section of tinfoil for each fillet you will be having. Lightly coat with brushed olive oil or use non stick cooking spray on the inside of each foil sheet.
Arrange 2-3 lemon slices (depending on the size of your fillets) in a line down the center of each packet.
Season each fillet (salt, pepper, dill weed) then set the haddock fillets on the lemon slices. Wrap each fillet in the foil being sure it is completely sealed with the seam facing upward.
Place foil packs on grill over a medium heat. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your haddock. Remove from heat and check your fillets for the fish to be done.
To Make The Lemon Cream Sauce For Fish
Bring a small saucepan with the olive oil to medium high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the minced onion and saute for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
Reduce heat to low, and add in the heavy cream. Once the cream is warmed, add the butter and cook until it is melted. Add the lemon zest and juice, then continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it is fully melted. Spoon the lemon cream sauce over your grilled haddock and enjoy!
Notes
Cooking Times for Grilled FishGrilled fish should be cooked for 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness (fillets or steak cuts). If grilled directly on your grill, turn and grill each side for 3-4 minutes until the fish is done. If using foil packets, check the fish for doneness at about 8 minutes as the fish is not only grilling but steaming inside the foil pouch.*Open foil packets carefully to avoid burns from steam!
