Baked Haddock with Bacon and Onion Crust

I bought some haddock at the farmers market today and figured I could just bake it and not need a lot of fancy ingredients to make it.  So I searched the internet for a baked haddock recipe and came across one on epicurious.  I made some adjustments and here's what I did.  It was really good -- a little more interesting than the basic baked haddock.

4 slices of bacon, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup panko
3 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds haddock or cod
2 teaspoons mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a skillet cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp.  Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.  Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened.  Transfer to a bowl and add the panko, dill pickle relish, and salt and pepper to taste (I used between 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt).  Arrange the haddock on a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Spread the top of the fish with mayonnaise and cover the fish with the panko mixture, pressing it in gently.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish just flakes.

Makes about 4 servings.
