New England-Style Baked Haddock with Lemon Breadcrumbs

This is a classic New England-style bake, simplified: haddock fillets topped with a mix of whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil, baked just until the crumbs turn golden and the fish flakes apart easily.

Haddock is a mild white fish that's a solid, everyday source of selenium and lean protein, which is really the whole reason a dish this simple earns its thyroid-safe tag — there's nothing fussy about it, just good fish cooked well. The green beans on the side are steamed rather than left raw, keeping the plate gentle and balanced.

It's an easy, low-effort dinner that still feels like something you'd order at a seaside restaurant, and it comes together in well under 40 minutes.
