Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod steaks
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the cod steaks dry using paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped tarragon, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix well to create a smooth, flavorful sauce.
Spread a generous layer of the tarragon mayonnaise mixture over the top of each cod steak, ensuring it's evenly coated.
If desired, sprinkle a small amount of breadcrumbs over the mayonnaise layer for added texture and a crispy topping.
Drizzle the cod steaks lightly with olive oil to enhance browning and flavor.
Bake the cod steaks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you want a golden crust, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Remove the cod steaks from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Tarragon Mayonnaise Cod Steaks warm with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a light green salad. Enjoy your delicious meal!
