2 tsp olive oil, separated
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder, separated

14 oz cod fillets
salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Combine first 6 ingredients (only 1 tsp olive oil and 1/8 tsp garlic powder) in a bowl and set aside.  Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, remaining olive oil and garlic power with salt and pepper to taste.  Coat the fillet with mayonnaise mixture. 

Coat a broiler rack with cooking spray.  Spoon the breadcrumb mixture on top of the mayonnaise coated fillet.

Bake 10-12 minutes until fish is opaque and bread crumbs are golden brown.  Serve with lemon wedge.  I add some jasmine rice and of course steamed broccoli!
