Ingredients

  • 2 lb cod fillets
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons basil fresh, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Place fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir mayonnaise together with cheese, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. Spread evenly over the top of the fillets.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish starts looking opaque and will flake.
  • Switch oven to broiler and brown the tops of the fish until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, watching it carefully so it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

Storage Instructions

  • Make ahead: Mix the topping up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Spread it on right before baking.
  • Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350° F until warmed through.
  • Freezing: Not ideal, since the mayo-Parmesan topping can separate. If you want to freeze cod, do so before topping and baking.
