The world’s best deviled ham, hands down. Consider adding black olives as well! On toast or bread, serve.

Ingredients

  1. 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
  2. ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  3. ⅓ cup butter, softened
  4. ¼ cup mayonnaise
  5. ¼ cup chopped green onion
  6. 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  7. 2 teaspoons dried dill weed (Optional)
  8. ¼ teaspoon salt
  9. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  10. 2 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  11. 2 pounds cod fillets

Instructions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly coat with 1 teaspoon butter.
  2. Mix together Parmesan, 1/3 cup butter, mayonnaise, green onion, lemon juice, dill, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Lay cod fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Jason Torres
Great flavor. Everyone loved the flavor!
Stacey Hall
Delicious! I used light mayo and light butter/spread, and less of both than called for but still so delicious (in case anyone is counting calories). I also baked because of other things going on in the oven, so added sauce a little sooner. Will make again and again. Thank you!!
Diane Logan
Easy to make meal. I think it would be better with sour cream or yogurt. But that’s because mayo isn’t my favorite.
Victoria Lopez

Vicki Welch
Nice dish, I used less mayo than recipe recommended
Christopher Thompson
So good! Scaled down the recipe for one serving, but wish I doubled the sauce and had some pasta or rice to sop it all up! I’ll make this again!
Anthony Bryant
This was one of the tastiest dishes I have ever made. Didn’t change one ingredient and will make time and time again.
Mr. Robert Smith
Best dish we have ever made from all recipes. Thank you to the person who posted it. We fix it twice per week now and will serve to guests. The whole time we are eating it, both of us are saying, mmm, mmm. I have no Tabasco so I give it 4-5 shakes of red pepper flakes. So amazing

I have done many times for all kinds of fish… per I do fishing frequently . I never have green onion/ scallions when I need it, so I use just onion powder. I used Parmesan cheese from the bottle never fresh. I just put It on top of the fish from the beginning… it’s all good!

My kids loved this! I’ll definitely make again.

I made this yesterday as instructed. I didn’t change or add anything and this was by far the best fish dish I’ve ever eaten in my 48 years on this earth! I kid you not! I don’t have any more Cod, but I do have some Catfish in the freezer so I will be trying this recipe either today or tomorrow.
Mr. John Heath Jr.
Delicious. Out of mayo, so I skipped the dill and used ranch dressing. Served it over chicken. Yummy!
Terry Thomas
Delicious! Served this tonight with steelhead trout. The flavors complimented the fish well. As recommended by a few others, I doubled the recipe except for the parmesan. Also, added chopped garlic and reduced the dill. Have added to my list of favorite fish sauces.
Hannah Baker
This is perhaps the most perfect sauce for any fish! I could not believe how the flavors compliment one another so perfectly. Will make again and again…thank you!
Mark Hudson
