Equipment

Small Bowl
Measuring Cups
Measuring spoons
Baking sheet

Ingredients

4 cod fillets (1.5-2 pounds total)
⅓ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450℉ (232℃).
Prepare your fish by drying it with paper towels. Place the fish pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil (sprayed with nonstick spray).
4 cod fillets
Make the coating mixture by combining the rest of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
⅓ cup mayonnaise, ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, black pepper
Spread the creamy mixture on top of each fish filet.
Bake fish for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and no longer translucent looking.
Change the oven to broil. Broil the fish 1-2 minutes longer to darken the crust mixture on top.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges and or more fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

If desired, press some panko breadcrumbs into the cream mixture after spreading on the fish. Do not broil, and keep an eye on it to make sure the breadcrumbs do not burn.
