Ingredients
10 oz. cod cut into serving pieces24 Ritz crackers (low fat are best but this recipe is based on regular because that is what I had), crushed to pea sized pieces3 T. Hellman's Olive Oil Mayonnaise1/2 t. garlic powder2 T. dill, basil or parsley (or combination)1/4 t. lemon zest1 T. lemon juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 450, put rack on highest slot.
Spray a 4 sided cooking sheet with olive oil (adds fat not calculated in recipe)
In a bowl, mix cracker crumbs and 1 T. herbs, set aside
In a seperate bowl mix mayonnaise, 1 T. herbs, garlic powder, lemon zest and lemon juice
Put cod filets on baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Brush filets with mayo mixture
Press cracker crumbs into filets.
Bake 8-15 minutes (mine took 12).

*We used 2 T of dill and even I, who loves dill, thought that was a bit too much. We will change it up to 1 T. dill and 1 T. parsley next time. The original recipe says if you break the crackers into smaller than pea sized pieces they won't get crispy.
