- Dill weed, to taste

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Meanwhile, spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray (such as Pam) and gently wipe it with a paper towel to ensure even coating.

Season Fillets: Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
-
Arrange Fillets: Lay the seasoned fillets evenly in the prepared baking pan, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
-
Apply Mayonnaise: Generously smother each fillet with mayonnaise, spreading it evenly to cover the surface of the fish.
-
Add Seasonings: Sprinkle dill weed over the mayonnaise-coated fillets, adding a burst of freshness and flavor. For an extra kick, generously sprinkle on Old Bay seasoning, enhancing the taste profile of the dish.
-
Alternative Seasoning: If Old Bay seasoning is not available, you can try Emeril’s version, which can be found at FoodTV.com, for a similar flavor experience.
-
Bake: Place the prepared baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
