Short Cut: It can be prepped up to a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Be certain to bring to room temperature before baking in the oven.

Alternative Method: Use another light white fish such as sole, snapper or white fish. Also try different herbs such as tarragon or cilantro in the mayo.
