Calories: 189kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Zest of a lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ pound cod fillet
- 2 teaspoons minced Italian parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° and have ready a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Run your fingers along the fillet, checking for any missed pin bones. If found, remove using a pair of kitchen tweezers. Pat the fillet dry using a paper towel, and transfer to the baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Rub the mayonnaise mixture all of the fillet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily using a fork . Cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet -- for a thicker fillet, bake longer, and for a thinner fillet, bake for less time. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley to garnish and serve.
- Serves 4-6.
