The mayonnaise helps to keep the fish moist and delicious. The chives add a pop of freshness, though you could easily switch them out for scallions or other fresh herbs if you would like.

We love them as is, but you could broil the topping for a minute or two if you want it to brown up a bit. Serve them with a lemon wedge if desired to brighten it up a bit.

Our dinner was rounded out with some steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes. Really just about any of your favorite side dishes would go with cod though, so make your favorite.

Alright, that’s about it. I hope you give this one a try, I think you’ll love it.
