Easy Low-Carb Baked Mayo-Parmesan Fish

Ingredients

• Four 6-8 oz. fish fillets that are about a half-inch thick
• 1 tsp. Szeged Fish Rub, for rubbing on the fish.
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 4 T freshly-grated or coarsely-grated Parmesan
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• Coarse ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Thaw the fish overnight in the refrigerator, then drain it thoroughly. If the fillets are very damp, sandwich them between 2 paper towels and gently press away the extra moisture.
2. Set the fish on a cutting board, coat each side with Szeged Fish Rub or the brand you like best, and leave it out to lose its chill while the oven heats to 400F/200C.
3. In a small bowl or a glass measuring cup, stir together the mayo, the coarsely grated Parmesan, and the garlic powder. It should be thick, so take a moment to work it into an even mixture.
4. Leave the fish on the cutting board and use a rubber scraper to cover the top of each fillet with an even coating of the mayo mixture. It is a lot tidier to do this before the fish goes into the baking dish.
5. Move the fillets gently into the baking dish, choosing the smallest one that will hold them all. Sprinkle fresh-ground black pepper over the topping to taste.
6. Place the dish in the upper half of the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, until the fish starts to feel firm when you press the side with a fork; thicker fillets may need more time.
7. Turn the oven to BROIL and let the topping brown for 3-4 minutes, watching closely. Serve hot.
