ap_aelfwineHaddock baked in cider (Theodora Fitzgibbon. Irish Traditional Food. (Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, 1991), 55)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper
4 large fillets haddock
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Sprig of fennel or lemon thyme, or a bay leaf
2 shallots or 1 small onion, sliced
4 lemon slices
1/2 pint dry cider
Lightly grease an ovenproof dish with some of the butter. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper and roll the fish fillets in the mixture. Lay the floured fillets in the dish, then add the herbs, shallot or onion, and the lemon slices. Pour cider in the dish and dot the fish with the remaining butter. Cover with foil and bake gently at 180 C, 350 F, Mark 4 for half an hour. Take of the foil and glaze for a few minutes under a hot grill, but not long enough for it to dry up. Serves 4.

I used to make this with hake, living in Cork City. (Yes, I learnt to cook in Ireland. It's not nearly as funny as it sounds.) I've not cooked it in years. Should remedy that, someday. Although hake can't be got here, there's haddock, I think.
