Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lemons, divided
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
- red chile flakes for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat broiler and arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay fillets in a single layer on foil. Drizzle oil over fish and rub over both sides. Lightly season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
- Zest 1 of the lemons then cut it in half and measure out 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove the ends of the other lemon so it sits upright, cut in half and set aside. Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, and remaining ingredients in a small bowl, then spread over fish. It will seem like a lot, but use all the mayo mixture. Place the two lemon halves, flesh-side-up on the tray next to the fish.
- Broil fish until cooked through and top has browned, about 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle with chili flakes and more thyme leaves if you'd like, then serve with the broiled lemon halves.
