Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs, such as chives, mint, basil and/or dill

  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk

  • Pinch of salt plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 1 ¼ pounds cod, cut into 4 pieces

  • 2 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour

Directions

  1. Whisk herbs, buttermilk, mayonnaise, pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
