This Alaska Cod Parmesan With Zucchini Noodles is a lighter version of traditional Parmesans. The fish is cooked briefly underneath the broiler and finished in the oven, preserving its texture. The zucchini noodles are sauteed in butter and olive oil, providing the dish with a pleasant textural contrast. Recipe Courtesy of Wild Alaska Seafood

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder

  • 3 zucchini, sliced horizontally with a mandoline
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  2. Place fillets on foil-lined broiler pan. Broil 5 to 7 inches from broiler element for 3 minutes, or until top is browned and bubbly. Reduce heat to 300°F and continue to cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the zucchini.
  4. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil.
