Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cod fillets
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Place the cod fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and set them aside.
  2. Make the Mayonnaise and Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh basil, grated garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended to create a flavorful topping.
  3. Spread the Topping and Bake: Evenly spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture over the top of each cod fillet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Broil to Finish: Switch the oven to broil setting. Broil the fish for 1-2 minutes to brown the topping until it is lightly golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Remove the baked cod from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy this quick and delicious dish as a healthy entrée.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried can be substituted if needed (reduce quantity by half).
  • Ensure the fish is evenly coated with the topping for consistent flavor and browning.
  • Keep an eye on the fish while broiling as it can burn quickly under high heat.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Cod can be substituted with other white fish such as haddock or pollock.
