Parmesan Baked Cod

The tasty fish recipe of the week is this wonderful baked cod. It was so good that I was sorry I had only made one piece for myself because I quite easily could’ve eaten two. This recipe will not work with dried herbs, so don’t even think about it. It’s fresh herbs, or nothing. In the doing, and following the instructions carefully, this is company worthy.

Parmesan Baked Cod

Adapted from laurenslatest.com

 2 cod fillets

¼ c. Duke’s mayonnaise

¼ c. freshly grated Parmesan

 2 T. minced fresh flat leaf parsley

 2 T. minced fresh basil

 1 clove garlic, grated

 Sea salt to taste

 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

A whisper of Old Bay

  Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Place fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet; set aside.

In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, cheese, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. Spread evenly over the top of the fillets. Sprinkle lightly with Old Bay.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish starts looking opaque and flakes.

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 with wedges of lemon.
