BAKED COD WITH ALMONDS

I enjoy eating cod, it is not overly coarse nor too fine in texture.  This recipe is easy to make and the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and parsley sauce gives it extra flavour.  You can use fat free or low fat mayonnaise and reduced amounts of cheese if you want to decrease the fat content.  The recipe is finished off by sprinkling toasted almonds over the fish after it comes out of the oven.  The DH and I enjoyed this fish and leftovers can be eaten for lunches or supper.

Butter melted in baking dish.

Sliced onions placed over butter.

Fish layered over onions and salt, pepper and dill sprinkled over fish.

Sauce mixed in a small bowl.

Sauce is spread over the fish. Ready to go into the oven.

Plated and ready to serve.
