Recipes with haddock and tomato
Almost always mains: 46 of the 51 recipes with a course label are mains.
Some of these have the ingredient list only, without the method. Where we have the original source, the recipe page links to it.
The count of 128 includes every recipe our index matched to both foods, some through an alternative or a related ingredient. This list is shorter because it shows only recipes whose ingredient lines name both. Open a few to see how they are used.
Can you swap one for the other?
No. Haddock and tomato are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common
Almost everything haddock carries, tomato has too: 42 of haddock's 42 flavor molecules also occur in tomato. Among the shared key aromas is ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
