How to Make Midwest Baked Haddock
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- **Make the white sauce:** Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon each of paprika and salt until smooth (a roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth. Continue whisking and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season haddock fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place haddock fillets in the prepared dish.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the haddock.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dry sherry over the sauce. Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the haddock is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
