What each ingredient does

Einnan haddocks
Form the main protein, which firms and toughens if overheated, so gentle heat keeps them tender.
Oil
Adds a light surface sheen and moisture before serving.

The step that matters

Gently heat the haddocks. Fish proteins set and toughen quickly at high heat, becoming dry and hard. Warming slowly through on the grill keeps the flesh moist and flaky, which is why the record warns against hardening them.
