Introduction

I found a version of this on the Internet after tasting a butter laden version as a sample at the grocery store. I used all dill but think next time I will use 1/2 dill and 1/2 parsley.

Ingredients

    10 oz. cod cut into serving pieces
    24 Ritz crackers (low fat are best but this recipe is based on regular because that is what I had), crushed to pea sized pieces
    3 T. Hellman's Olive Oil Mayonnaise
    1/2 t. garlic powder
    2 T. dill, basil or parsley (or combination)
    1/4 t. lemon zest
    1 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.
