Paleo Garlic Mayo Baked Cod

I have to admit; I don’t like mayo, not even a little bit.  Years ago a patient was talking about baking a piece of fish covered in mayo.  The thought of it grossed me out. 

Well, I had mayo leftover from the paleo approved sides post so I thought I would finally give it a try.  This was a quick paleo garlic mayo baked cod that I whipped together one afternoon for lunch.  The paleo mayo I made with Macadamia nut oil, so it had a great nutty flavor.  That nutty flavor added a great taste to the cod.  While I am still not a fan of mayo as a side, it did an excellent job of keeping the cod moist and tender!  The great part was that the kids loved it for lunch!  You can also add a crust to the Mayo by turning the broiler on and moving the cod closer to the broiler for about 3-5 min.
