Ingredients

• 4 fresh Swedish haddock fillets
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for garnishing

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the paper and let the fire burn for about 20 minutes until the grill is ready.

Step 2: Prepare the Mustard Crust

1. In a bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard.
2. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Drizzle melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and mix well.

Step 3: Coat the Haddock

1. Brush the mustard mixture evenly over each haddock fillet.
2. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated fillets to form a crust.

Step 4: Sear the Haddock

1. Place the haddock fillets, crust-side down, on the center grill grate and sear for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Finish Cooking

1. Move the haddock fillets to the flat griddle cooktop and cook for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 130°F).
2. Remove the fillets from the grill when they reach 115°F as they will continue cooking after being removed.

Step 6: Serve

1. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve hot.

Tips

• Make sure to use fresh haddock for the best flavor.
• Do not flip the fish too often; let the crust set for a perfect sear.
• Use high-quality Dijon mustard for a richer taste.
• Butter enhances the flavor better than olive oil when grilling.

Variations

1. Swedish Herb Crust: Add dill and chives to the breadcrumb mixture for a traditional Swedish twist.
2. Spicy Mustard Crust: Mix in 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 1 tbsp hot mustard for a spicy kick.
3. Lemon Pepper Crust: Use lemon zest along with black pepper for a zestier flavor.
4. Garlic Parmesan Crust: Increase the garlic powder and double the Parmesan for more depth.
5. Honey Mustard Crust: Add 1 tbsp honey to the mustard mixture for a sweet-savory contrast.

Conclusion

Grilling Swedish Haddock with a mustard crust on the Arteflame grill delivers unparalleled flavor and texture. The high-temperature sear locks in juices, while the griddle finish brings everything together. Enjoy this delicious dish with your favorite sides!
