Haddock is a versatile fish that is both nutritious and delicious. It can be cooked in many ways and can be easily paired with different flavors. Cheesefish is a cheesy take on haddock that adds American cheese or queso blanco that provides the creamy base to support the tangy sous-base of hot sauce and grapefruit juice. The fish is topped with parmesan cheese to add more depth to the flavor and gives the dish a slightly crispy texture. It can be served as a main dish for lunch or dinner.

2.Place haddock fillets into a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and cover with shredded cheese.
3.In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter while slowly stirring in milk, hot sauce, and grapefruit juice. Pour mixture over the cheese-topped fish.
4.Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
