- 2 lb cod fillets
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Prepare the Cod: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, chopped parsley, basil, and grated garlic. Stir until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
Coat the Fillets: Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet, ensuring a thick, even layer.
Bake the Cod: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flaky, and the topping golden brown.
Broil for Crispiness (Optional): If you’d like a crispier crust, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or basil, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
