Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 2 pounds cod fillets

Topping

  • 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 (232°C). 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 well until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a flavorful topping for the fish.
  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 is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Broil to Finish. Switch your oven to broil. Broil the cod fillets for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the topping is lightly golden and browned. This step adds a perfect crispy finish to the dish while avoiding burning.
  5. Serve. Remove the baked cod from the oven and serve while warm. Enjoy the creamy, herbaceous topping paired with tender, flaky fish.

Notes

  • Use fresh cod fillets for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs according to your taste preference.
  • Keep an eye on the fish during broiling as it can brown quickly.
  • This recipe can be adapted with other white fish like haddock or halibut.
  • Serve with lemon wedges or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
