Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
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.
Lay cod fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Cook under the preheated broiler until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Gently spread Parmesan mixture over fish; return to the oven and broil until topping is bubbly and lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.
